Clashes have renewed between the Sudanese and Ethiopian troops in the disputed border area. This latest escalation came at a time when the two countries have been suffering domestic unrest.
In a statement on Nov. 27, the Sudanese army said that elements of the Ethiopian army and its affiliated militias attacked Barakat Noreen town in the al-Fashaqa border area, in a bid to intimidate farmers, destroy the agricultural harvest and infiltrate into the Sudanese territory.
