Conflict at Ethiopia-Sudan Border

 Aljazeera posted on 12 January 2021 an article titled "Ethiopia Warns Sudan over Military Build-up Amid Border Tensions."

Ethiopia and Sudan have a long-standing border dispute over land being cultivated by Ethiopian farmers.  The problem has been exacerbated by the recent flow of some 60,000 refugees from Ethiopia's Tigray Region into this part of Sudan.  There has been a military build-up on both sides of the border and increasingly inflammatory rhetoric.
