The Ethiopian government has, for the second time, dismissed as “baseless” Sudanese claims that it is preparing to support the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), as satellite imagery and intelligence reports point to a military build-up near the countries’ shared border.
The allegations came as Sudan’s military leader, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, visited Ed Damazin, the capital of Blue Nile region, in an apparent move to inspect front-line troops and review operational plans to push back paramilitary forces in the area.
