Cairo - Asharq Al-AwsatEgyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi received Thursday a Sudanese delegation in Cairo to discuss the recent border tensions between Khartoum and Addis Ababa, in addition to the latest regional developments, especially the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD). The talks tackled the latest developments concerning the mounting tensions between Ethiopia and Sudan over the disputed eastern border region of Al-Fashqa. The visit comes after border tension between the two countries escalated during the conflict in the Tigray region. Ethiopian forces and militias attacked Sudanese forces inside their territory, killing three individuals and a high-ranking officer. The negotiations to demarcate the border between Sudan and Ethiopia last December failed to reach an agreement.
