June 27 2022 (KHARTOUM) – The Sudanese Foreign Affairs minister, Ali Al-Sadiq Ali on Monday summoned Ethiopia’s ambassador to Sudan, a day after seven Sudanese soldiers and a civilian were killed on Ethiopian soil.

He further said stressed that the Sudanese government reserves the full right guaranteed by the United Nations Charter to defend its lands and dignity. Meanwhile, Sudan said it would recall its ambassador to Ethiopia for “consultations”, days after its soldiers were executed on Ethiopian territory. Tens thousands of refugees have fled into eastern Sudan and there have been military skirmishes in an area of contested farmland along Sudan and Ethiopia border.
