Sudan repels Ethiopian attack

Sudan’s military says it has repelled an attempted incursion by Ethiopian forces in the border area between the two countries.

A statement released today by the Sudan military Head, Abdel Fattah, disclosed that the Ethiopian forces were forced to retreat from the district of Umm Barakit.

The statement revealed that the incident took place yesterday and showed how the army protected the country after last week’s coup attempt.

It added that the Ethiopia’s military is yet to respond to a request for comment.
