Sudan's information minister accuses Ethiopia army of border attack involvement
December 25, 2020 (KHARTOUM) - The Ethiopian army massed troops along the border with Sudan, while Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said some parties seek to create tensions between Sudan and Ethiopia.
Sudanese and Ethiopian troops clashed along the border with the Amhara region during the past weeks, following the eruption of fighting in the northern region of Tigray.
The Sudanese army deployed its troops to end the de-facto occupation of some border areas by the Ethiopian farmers and militiamen when Khartoum realised that the Amhara militiamen used its territory to attack the TPLF rebels in Tigray region.
Military sources in Gadaref told the Sudan Tribune that the calm prevailed on the border area during the last 48 hours, adding they noted a military build-up on the Ethiopian side and the redeployment of troops that returned from Tigray.
"Also, the Ethiopian aviation carried out military manoeuvres in the areas of Hadi, Oar Mago and
By speaking directly to the people of Sudan in their national language, he has deny the propaganda victory their military leaders wanted to score by invading Ethiopian territory in order to strength their power in the government. That shows how smart politician he is.
That is not surprising because Egypt wants to destabilize Ethiopia by proxy war and Sudanese militia is serving that purpose. Sudan must stop serving Egypt as its foot soldier and stop its aggression. Sudan must know that Ethiopia will defend Ethiopian territories.
The current friendly relationship between Ethiopia's PM Abiy and and Eritrea's President Isayas will not last because it is base on the principle of 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend.' The mutual enemy being the TPLF. But the TPLF has been removed form power, but the border dispute and the Asab issue is still unresolved. Asab port belongs legally to Ethiopia, but it is still under occupation. And as long as the Port is not returned to its legal owner, there will always be tension. By the way Ethiopia government must legislate a law that declares that it has the right to use force against any neighboring country which tries to block it free access to the coast.
Egypt should solve its border dispute with Sudan instead of crying its crocodile tears.
Forces in Ethiopia’s Tigray region have accused the federal government of partnering with the United Arab Emirates to use weaponized drones stationed in Eritrea. A security analyst tells VOA the drones are in an Eritrean port city but there is no evidence they are being used in the Tigray conflict.
The victory over the TPLF does not only sends a strong signal to foreigners who threatens Ethiopia, but it is also the beginning of the end of poverty.
The TPLF has been hindering Ethiopia's progress because of its corruption, mismanagement and the destructive wars it has caused. It has made it dependent on UN aid. The removal of this criminal and beggar organization gives Ethiopia an opportunity to focus its full energy and resources on developments.
