Ethiopia to Sudan: We Cannot Tell Who Killed Your Soldiers

The Ethiopian army chief has denied accusations that Ethiopian forces killed Sudanese soldiers at the border between the two countries, the US-based pro-government ESAT TV reported.

Gen Birhanu Jula said there was no reason to attack Sudan and that the country was “not in a position” to carry out such attacks as it was fighting the rebels in the north.

The two countries have been having a border dispute and ongoing disagreements over the shared waters of the Nile River.

The army chief said he hoped the issues could be resolved peacefully through dialogue.
