Horn of Africa Tensions Flare as Sudan Adds Forces Near Ethiopia

Sudan’s army is deploying more troops and anti-aircraft equipment near the Ethiopian border as it accuses Addis Ababa of backing its rebel opponents in a three-year civil war.

The build-up of forces in Blue Nile state comes after the military-aligned Sudanese government accused Ethiopia and the United Arab Emirates of “involvement” — denied by both countries — in a drone raid on the international airport in the capital, Khartoum, on May 4.
