Ethiopia Expels 6 Sudanese Consular Staff and Orders Consulate Closed, Officials Say
The move deepens a diplomatic rift as Sudan accuses Ethiopia of allowing drone attacks on its infrastructure.
- Ethiopia expelled six Sudanese consular staff from Assosa on Wednesday and ordered the mission closed, marking escalating tensions between the neighboring nations over drone attack accusations.
- Sudan's Foreign Ministry alleged Saturday that drones attacking its electrical infrastructure were launched from Ethiopian territory; both Ethiopia and the United Arab Emirates deny arming the Rapid Support Forces.
- An Ethiopian intelligence official confirmed the six staff members received 48 hours to depart; they left Tuesday evening, though the Ethiopian Foreign Ministry did not publicly announce the expulsion.
- This expulsion follows Ethiopia's closure of its embassy in Eritrea on October 1 and the expulsion of an Egyptian diplomat last month, intensifying regional diplomatic strain.
- Sudan's government and the Emergency Lawyers group blame the Rapid Support Forces for ongoing infrastructure attacks, as the conflict between Sudan's military and the RSF persists amid regional instability.
