Broj poginulih u napadu u Etiopiji porastao na 222
Autor:Agencije 25. Dec. 2020

Broj poginulih u napadu koji se dogodio u etnički podeljenom regionu Benišangul Gumuž, na zapadu Etiopije, porastao je na 222 osobe, izjavio je danas za Rojters volonter iz Crvenog krsta.

“Juče smo sahranili 207 žrtava i još 15 napadača”, rekao je dobrovoljac Melese Mesfin. Napad se dogodio u selu Bekoji u okrugu Bulen u zoni Metekel, a etiopska komisija za ljudska prava koju je imenovala država u početku je procenila da je ubijeno više od 100 ljudi. Još jedan u nizu masakara koji je počinila neka od sukobljenih etničkih grupa u tom regionu dogodio se dan nakon posete premijera Etiopije Abija Ahmeda, koji je govorio o potrebi da se pred lice pravde izvedu svi odgovorni za prethodne napade, preneo je AP.

U Etiopiji živi više od 80 različitih etničkih grupa što čini pokušaje premijera Ahmeda da se promoviše nacionalno jedinstvo velikim izazovom.

Sudan od Etiopije preuzeo kontrolu nad spornom terititorijom
Tanjug 27.12.2020.

Sudan je preuzeo kontrolu nad većim delom teritorije nakon što je optužio Etiopiju da pokušava da zauzme oblast u blizini granice između dve zemlje, prenosi Rojters.

Verujemo da je dijalog rešenje za svaki problem, ali će vojska Sudana vršiti svoju dužnost kako bi povratila našu teritoriju, rekao je za Rojters ministar za informisanje Faisal Salih. On je potvrdio da je vojska trenutno povratila kontrolu nad 60 do 70 odsto tog dela sudanske teritorije, kao i da su se sukobi smanjili u poslednja dva dana. Snage koje su vršile napade ne pripadaju miliciji, već je reč o regularnim snagama, tvrdi Salih.

Tenzije u pograničnom delu između Sudana i Etiopije razbuktale su se otkako je u etiopskom regionu Tigraj na severu zemlje izbio konflikt početkom novembra i otkako je na istok Sudana pristiglo preko 50.000 izbeglica, uglavnom iz ove oblasti. Sukob između dve strane odnosi se na poljoprivredno zemljište koje se nalazi u Sudanu, a koje već dugo vremena naseljavaju zemljoradnici iz Etiopije. U toku proteklih nekoliko nedelja došlo je do oružanih sukoba između sudanskih i etiopskih snaga, a strane se međusobno optužuju da postičku nasilje.

Dve zemlje su ove nedelje u Kartumu održale razgovore po pitanju trenutne situacije.
