Sudan summoned the Ethiopian ambassador in Khartoum on Monday amid deepening tensions, claiming that the neighboring country's army had kidnapped and executed seven of its soldiers and a civilian. The Sudanese military said that the Ethiopians had displayed the bodies of those who were executed to the public and promised an appropriate response. The ministry said in addition to summoning the Ethiopian ambassador, it would also call back its ambassador from Addis Ababa for discussions. "The Ethiopian ambassador to Khartoum will also be summoned to inform him of Sudan's condemnation of this inhumane behavior," the ministry said, adding that Sudan would prepare a formal complaint to the UN Security Council. Earlier, the Sudanese military condemned what it called "cowardly behavior," and added: "this treacherous act will not pass."
