In a sharp escalation of cross-border tensions between two neighboring East African nations, Sudan has formally recalled its ambassador to Ethiopia and publicly accused Addis Ababa of orchestrating a series of recent drone strikes targeting key Sudanese sites, including the capital Khartoum’s international airport. The announcement, made during a press conference on Tuesday, marks one of the most serious diplomatic rifts between the two countries in years, unfolding against the backdrop of Sudan’s 13-month civil conflict between the national military and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group.
