Addis Ababa has rejected Sudan’s offer to mediate in its war with Tigrayan fighters citing a border tiff with the Khartoum administration. This, analysts say points to a sucking in of neighbouring countries into the Ethiopian internal war.
Billene Seyoum, the Spokesperson of Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said Sudan’s bid had been ‘’tarnished’’ by the latter’s deployment of troops to a disputed border area in Amhara region.
