Khartoum, 9 September 2021 (TDI): According to the Foreign Ministry, the Ethiopian Ambassador in Khartoum was summoned on August 30th, following the discovery of 29 bodies floating down the Setit River, which separates the two countries.
According to residents of Wad al-Hiliou in Sudan’s eastern Kassala state, hundreds of bodies have been retrieved from the Setit River in Ethiopia, which runs through the country’s northern Tigray region.
Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, who received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2019, stated that his forces moved into the area in response to TPLF attacks on federal military camps. According to the UN, thousands of people have been killed in the fighting, and tens of thousands have fled into neighboring Sudan.
