South Sudan and Ethiopia have agreed to form a joint border security force to stop the flow of arms between the two nations.
The agreement between the two countries was signed at the end of a border security meeting in Ethiopia’s Gambella town last week.
Governor David Yau Yau of South Sudan’s Boma state signed on behalf of its country while the President of the Gambella region, Gatluak Tut Khot signed on behalf of Ethiopia.
The agreement gives Ethiopia the freedom to open a liaison office in Boma State to foster cooperation between the Murle of South Sudan and the Anyuak of Ethiopia, who reside on the common border.
