Khartoum, April 18 (SocialNews.XYZ) Sudan has reaffirmed its ownership of the disputed Fashaga district on the border with Ethiopia.
"Fashaga is a Sudanese land," acting Foreign Minister Ali Al-Sadiq told visiting UN Secretary-General's Special Envoy for the Horn of Africa, Hanna Tetteh, according to a statement by Sudan's Foreign Ministry on Sunday.
Negotiations and dialogue are the best means to settle the dispute, the Minister said.
The border area between Sudan and Ethiopia has been witnessing rising tensions and skirmishes between the two sides since September 2020, Xinhua news agency reported.
