The commander-in-chief of the Sudanese army made his comment while inspecting troops in Al-Fashqa Al-Sughra on the eastern border with Ethiopia. Al-Burhan stressed the determination of the Sudanese army to perform its duty to protect the land and the country's honour. Al-Burhan ordered that no new movements or encroachments on Sudanese land and citizens will be permitted beyond the internationally-recognised border. Khartoum announced on 31 December 2020 that the Sudanese army had taken over all of Sudan's territory within Al-Fashqa border area with Ethiopia. Addis Ababa accuses its neighbour Sudan of controlling Ethiopian land, which Khartoum denies.
