Sudan has decided to file a formal complaint to the UN Security Council (UNSC) against Ethiopia over “the killing of seven Sudanese soldiers and a citizen held as captives”. The Foreign Ministry here also decided to immediately recall its ambassador to Ethiopia for consultations, and to summon the Ambassador in Khartoum to inform him of Sudan’s condemnation, reports Xinhua news agency. “The Ministry embarked on filing a formal complaint to the UN Security Council and the concerned international and regional organizations.”On Sunday, the Sudanese Armed Forces said the Ethiopian army “executed” seven soldiers and a citizen who were held captive, which Ethiopia has denied. Since September 2020, the Sudan-Ethiopia border has been witnessing rising tensions and deadly skirmishes between the two sides. Sudan has accused the Ethiopian military of backing the farmers’ seizure of Sudanese lands at the disputed Fashaga district on the border.
