Positive steps
Commenting on these developments, Ethiopian Prime Minister Abi Ahmed said that the Sudanese negotiations have achieved positive steps. He pointed out that the negotiations between the parties are going well and that he is optimistic about their success due to the great efforts which have started and bear fruit and achieve good results.

"As you know, when countries weaken, forces with expansionist ambitions will intervene in their affairs," Abu Ahmed said of the dangers of interference from outside parties.

"The multiplicity of parties involved in the negotiations and the presence of others who are trying to intervene will create problems. However, the Ethiopian initiative has been welcomed by the international community, and we are optimistic that the Sudanese parties will reach a solution that satisfies everyone and the Sudanese people are the winners."
