  • Sudan's army chief on Thursday toured a border region with conflict-hit Ethiopia, according to a government source, a day after the military said troops were ambushed there by Ethiopian forces. General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, who heads the armed forces and the Sovereign Council, Sudan's highest executive body, "has arrived in Gedaref for a security visit", the source said. There were no further details. On Wednesday, the army issued a statement saying a unit of Sudanese armed forces had been hit by "an ambush by Ethiopian forces and militias inside Sudanese territories". It said the attack took place Tuesday evening after "conducting a sweep operation around the Jabal Abutiur region". There were "casualties and damage" during the ambush, the statement added. Sudanese media on Thursday said four soldiers were killed and 12 others wounded in the ambush, but the report was not confirmed by the army. Ethiopia sought to downplay Sudan's report of the ambush. A foreign ministry spokesman in Addis Ababa told AFP Ethiopian security forces had "repelled a group of (Sudanese) low-ranking officers and farmers, who had encroached on Ethiopian territory". The incident "should have been resolved through diplomatic channels", the spokesman added, without saying if there had been any casualties. Sudan has been flooded by an influx of Ethiopian refugees fleeing a conflict in the northern Tigray region that broke out last month. Last week, Sudanese Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok said he had agreed with his counterpart in Addis Ababa to hold an urgent meeting of a bloc of east African countries to resolve the crisis. Fighting has raged since Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed launched military operations in November targeting Tigray's ruling party, the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF). Thousands have been killed since the start of the conflict, according to the International Crisis Group, and just over 50,000 people have fled to neighbouring Sudan. ab/sk/hkb/sw
