General Abdel-Fattah Burhan, head of Sudan’s ruling Sovereign Council, visited Al Fashaqa in the east of Sudan yesterday after Ethiopia killed seven Sudanese soldiers and a civilian in the border area.
The incident was the latest sign of deteriorating ties between the east African nations.
A Sudanese military statement late Sunday described the killings as a “cowardly act” and said Khartoum would retaliate.
