Sudan Accuses Ethiopia of Drone Attacks
4 Mar
Summary
- Sudan accused Ethiopia of launching drones from its territory.
- The alleged attacks occurred in February and March.
- Sudan warned Ethiopia of consequences for hostile acts.

Sudan has leveled a serious accusation against Ethiopia, alleging that drones were launched from Ethiopian territory into Sudan in February and March. This marks a significant escalation, as it is the first time Sudan has directly implicated its powerful neighbor in the ongoing three-year civil war.
The Sudanese army has been engaged in a fierce conflict with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a war that has displaced millions and threatens to fragment the nation. While not specified, the alleged attacks likely targeted areas in the southeastern Blue Nile state, which borders Ethiopia and has recently seen skirmishes and drone activity.
Sudan's foreign ministry condemned the alleged drone launches as a "blatant violation of Sudanese sovereignty" and an "outright act of aggression." The government issued a stern warning to Ethiopian authorities, asserting Sudan's right to defend its territorial integrity and respond with all available means.
This accusation follows previous reports suggesting Ethiopia hosts a secret camp to train RSF fighters. The Ethiopian government has not yet responded to these latest allegations.
