Ethiopia, Sudan reach deal on border dispute

Ethiopia’s ambassador to Khartoum Yibeltal Aemero Alemu said Sudan and Ethiopia reached an agreement to peacefully resolve the border dispute.

Yibeltal did not specify when bilateral talks on border demarcation would be launched.

“There are previous border agreements with Sudan,” he affirmed, adding that officials from both countries will refer to these agreements to demarcate the land borders and resolve the dispute.

Commenting on the current situation in Sudan, Alemu stressed that Ethiopia does not interfere in other countries’ affairs and is not biased to any party.

But he said his country is willing to mediate to bridge the rifts among the conflicting Sudanese parties upon their request.
