December 31, 2020 (KHARTOUM) - President of the Sovereign Council Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan who is Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces stated that the Sudanese army had been redeployed along the Sudanese side in the border Ethiopia.

The Sudanese armed forces "have not and will not cross international borders or attack neighbouring Ethiopia," al-Burhan stressed in a speech on the occasion of the 65th anniversary of independence, on Thursday evening.

His statements come in response to accusations by the Ethiopian government that Sudanese army carried out cross border attacks and that they would retaliate if Khartoum does not stop these attacks.

For his part, the acting foreign minister told reporters that the army recovered all agricultural areas occupied by Ethiopian militiamen and regular forces during the past 26 years.

Omer Gamer Eldin further referred to the 1902 border agreement saying that his country has documents confirming the ownership of the border areas the army has been recently deployed.

Gamar Eldin added that his government has been placing markers on the boundary every two kilometres instead of 10km.

Following the eruption of the armed conflict in the Tigray region of Ethiopia, the Sudanese government closed the border and deployed its troops along the border.

Ethiopian forces attacked the Sudanese troops and killed an officer and three troops, triggering the deployment of more troops along the border.

Following a series of attacks by Ethiopian militiamen and army in April and June 2020, the two countries formed a joined military committee to prevent such attacks but the local militiamen continued their attacks.

Al-Burhan said Sudan is keen to reach a negotiated settlement and dialogue will remain its guide.

"We have sought and still seek to deal through dialogue with the issue of attacks on Sudanese lands by Ethiopian farmers and those who support them," he said pointing to the recent joint political committee meetings in Khartoum.

"The dialogue will continue (with Ethiopia) and the negotiation will guide us until everyone gets hos right".

Sudan can place border markers in every 1 meter, but she is given middle finger from Ethiopian side. Every border marker will be crushed to the ground when roar on the border.

The book says, there is time for everything. Ethiopia needs to focus first on cleaning its own house in order.
Second, Ethiopia should continue building the Hidase dam, the GERD and fill it to the brim.
There is nothing the Arabs or their slaves could do
Sudan should not be Ethiopia's priority now. In the face of Ethiopia, Sudan is nothing, she is just still a mere slave of the Egyptians, after
all the centuries of Egyptian slavery and occupation.
Moreover, Egypt is behind all the provocations to widen the conflict and to save its newly acquired slaves, the Woyanie Tigrayans.
Ethiopia should clearly identify its real friends in the region during trying times and its opportunist enemies.

Roha,

You are absolutely right. Ethiopia should evacuate every Ethiopian or Amhara civilian from the conflict zone to safer places and continue on the diplomatic pressure while building and preparing for full-scale war and cleaning the TPLF and OLF junta. Our priority should be containing Sudan aggression but eliminating the remnant anti-peace TPLF and OLF criminals from the area.

Actually, it has to clearly be declared to be treasons that anyone who supports the TPLF junta and the Sudan and Egypt interference in our internal politics. It could be material, propaganda, and even moral support to any anti-Ethiopian forces should be punishable by life in prison or death if Ethiopian law allows capital punishment.

And any associated with those anti-Ethiopian can't get the privilege of protection under the Ethiopian law and they should be considered as an enemy combatant and should be tried in a special panel, not the civilian court system.

I have noticed a great error in our justice system regarding the TPLF junta who are captured or surrendered. Those grade four so-called generals and colonels for that matter all TPLF forces should not be tried in civilian court because they are not civilians. Since they considered themselves they should try in military court system court marshal. I do not understand why the law has to be bent to accommodate these sworn enemies of the country.
Therefore, we ask Abyi to uphold the law and all TPLF forces to be tried in the court marshal.

Long live Ethiopia and down with TPLF,OLF and OPDP junta.
