SUDAN NEWS ALERT: Sudan Tribune - Ethiopian militias invade Sudanese territory, escalating violence and looting
Sudan Tribune report that Ethiopian militias launched a renewed incursion into Sudanese territory, penetrating 15 kilometres deep into the Al-Fashqa border region.
Reports of escalating violence, looting, and attacks on farmers and herders in the border area have raised alarm as the militias attempt to seize control of agricultural lands.
The Sudanese military, which had retaken control of approximately 90% of Al-Fashqa since 2020, is now facing a resurgence of Ethiopian aggression.
Local livestock owner Abdallah Ahmed reported being robbed of 140 sheep by the militias at gunpoint, warning of the dire consequences of unchecked violence and highlighting the militias’ attempts to prevent Sudanese farmers from cultivating their lands during the crucial rainy season.
Local residents are calling for urgent intervention from the Sudanese government and the international community to address the escalating crisis in Al-Fashqa and ensure the safety and security of those living in the border region.
