13/1/2021: Sudan Tribune – Sudan condemns killing of five women, child by Ethiopia forces

 Sudan Tribune report that the Sudanese government strongly condemned the killing of Sudanese civilians by Ethiopian militiamen on the border area of al-Gureisha in al-Gadarif

The Sudanese foreign ministry confirmed that five women and a child had been killed by the Ethiopian forces and two other women are missing.

"While the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Sudan condemns in the strongest terms this brutal aggression and condemns the targeting of defenceless civilians, it calls on the international community and regional organizations to condemn these criminal acts and demand their immediate cessation," said the statement “in a clear allusion to the silence of the African Union.”

Military officials on the border area told the Sudan Tribune that they found the body of a sixth woman killed during the attack.
