Ethiopia has reportedly ordered six Sudanese diplomats to leave the country, according to a senior Ethiopian official cited by Reuters on Wednesday.
The move marks another setback in relations between the two nations, which have traded accusations of supporting each other’s armed rivals.
Sudan claims Ethiopia is backing the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), while Ethiopia accuses Sudan of supporting rebel groups in its northern Tigray region. Both governments deny the allegations.
The escalating tensions have raised concerns that the conflicts in Sudan and northern Ethiopia could spill across borders, increasing the risk of a wider crisis in the Horn of Africa.
