Re: Sudan slams 'illegal' Egypt oil exploration in disputed Red Sea area
"Sudan has warned against an "illegal" offering of oil and gas exploration blocks by Egypt in the Red Sea area of Halayeb, a territory claimed by both countries.
Egypt's occupation of the Halayeb Triangle, which lies in a mineral-rich border region of the Red Sea, has been a bone of contention for years between Cairo and Khartoum despite an overall improvement in ties since an October summit.
"This is an illegal operation that could face legal consequences for the parties that are involved in carrying it out," Saad el-Deen el-Bushra, Sudan's minister of state for oil and gas, said in a statement on Wednesday carried by the official SUNA news agency."
The greed by Egypt and the vacillation by Sudan is something that could potentially ignite a war which could be very consequential to the whole region of East Africa. There are a few bought out mercenaries in Ethiopia and Sudan whose only aim is enriching themselves at the expense of their countries. Interesting time is ahead of us. I am not sure if the ethno- political elites of Ethiopia are capable of or care to navigating this complex geopolitics as it is unfolding. As things stand right now, identity politicians are rather plotting so it seems, what their share could be out of the potentially disintegration of their "Country".
