Today, Sunday, the Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs denied Ethiopian accusations that Khartoum supports, harbors and trains elements of the Tigray Front, which is fighting the Ethiopian government forces.
The Sudanese Foreign Ministry said in a statement that it followed up "with more astonishment and astonishment" the news published by the Ethiopian state radio agency "Fana" on December 9, 2021, in which it accused Sudan of supporting the Tigray Liberation Front.
The statement stressed that Sudan controls all of its internationally recognized lands and borders with Ethiopia, and has never, and will not, allow it to be used for any aggression on its lands.
The Sudanese Foreign Ministry called on Addis Ababa to stop accusing Sudan, without evidence, of taking hostile stances and practices.
On November 4, 2020, violent clashes erupted between the Ethiopian army and the Tigray People's Liberation Front, after government forces entered the region in response to an attack on an army base. Recently, the fighting between the two sides intensified.
On November 28, the Sudanese army announced the killing of 6 of its members in the Al-Fashqa area on the border with Ethiopia, as a result of an attack carried out by groups of the Ethiopian army and militias.
The area of Al-Fashqa is about two million acres, and it extends for a distance of 168 km with the Ethiopian border out of the total border distance of Gedaref State with Ethiopia, which is about 265 km.
Last December, the Sudanese army imposed its control over Al-Fashqa lands, after it had been seized for a quarter of a century by what Khartoum said were "Ethiopian gangs", while Addis Ababa accuses Sudan of controlling Ethiopian lands, which Khartoum denies.
