Sudan’s military is accusing Ethiopian counterparts of firing first in the Saturday incident that caused half a dozen deaths in the Khartoum camp in a border row between the two countries.
In a press statement issued on Sunday, the military, referring to the al-Fashqa al-Saghira border areas, Barakat Noreen claimed the Sudanese forces were ambushed by Ethiopian troops ostensibly to intimidate local farmers going about their harvests.
