Turkey offers to mediate disputes between Sudan, Ethiopia
Erdogan also said he stands behind a peaceful resolution to the violence in Tigray.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan offered Thursday to mediate a bloody border dispute between Ethiopia and Sudan.
Speaking alongside Ethiopian President Abiy Ahmed following their meeting in Ankara on Wednesday, Erdogan also said his government supports a peaceful resolution to the Tigray conflict, which has displaced thousands amid widespread allegations of war crimes by government-aligned troops.
Separately, violence in the al-Fashagha triangle on the two countries’ shared border flared up again late last year, one of many tense disputes in the Horn of Africa that could potentially unravel the region if allowed to erupt into a war.
“We are ready to make any contribution to an amicable resolution of the problem, including mediation,” Erdogan said. The two also signed military agreements, the contents of which were not made public.
