Sudan Accuses Ethiopia of Drone Attacks in Civil War

African outlets underline that Sudan has made a serious allegation against Ethiopia but has not yet publicly shared detailed proof. They stress that both countries are already at odds over land and water disputes, so the drone issue could deepen mistrust unless outside mediators step in. They expect the African Union and IGAD to push for technical investigations of the drone attacks and for both sides to avoid direct military retaliation.

• •African coverage notes that Sudan’s leaders accuse Ethiopia of allowing or directing drones to strike Sudanese territory without releasing full radar or forensic data.
• •Commentators warn that earlier quarrels over the Al-Fashaga border and the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam make the new drone claims especially sensitive.
• •Reports suggest that if Ethiopia rejects Sudan’s accusation outright, Khartoum may seek backing from other African states to support its position.
• •African Union and IGAD involvement is presented as essential to examine flight paths, debris, and satellite data from the drone strikes.
• •Some African voices caution that any Sudanese attempt to respond militarily across the border could destabilise the wider region.
