Sudan Sends More Troops to Eritrea BorderJanuary 15, 2018 - As tensions in the Red Sea region continues to rise, the Sudanese government announced that it has sent more troops to its eastern border with Eritrea . Early this month Khartoum closed its borders with Eritrea and sent troops to its border region of Kassala, following reports that Egypt has deployed troops in Eritrea. The meeting took place amid deteriorating relations between Sudan and Ethiopia on one side and Egypt and Eritrea on the other. Khartoum has also recalled its ambassador in Cairo following the reports of Egyptian troops presence in Eritrea. The latest tension was sparked after Sudan signed an agreement to temporarily hand over the Red Sea island of Suakin to Turkey.
