Deadly RSF Drone Attacks Reveal Deep Divisions Between Sudan and Ethiopia

Sudan accuses Ethiopia of allowing the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), at war with the Sudanese Armed Forces since April 2023, to use Ethiopian territory for drone attacks on civilian sites, including power stations. Khartoum has filed complaints with the UN Security Council and the African Union’s Peace and Security Council. Border affairs specialist Abdul Kareem Al-Almin Ahmed says the allegations have fuelled divisions within Sudan’s army, with some voices calling for war against Ethiopia. Suspected strikes have damaged civilian infrastructure and put more than 90 percent of power stations in Sudanese cities out of service.
