The Sudanese government on Monday warned Ethiopia of the consequences of “hostile acts” following what it described as a series of drone incursions from Ethiopian territory into Sudan.
In a press statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, the government said it has been monitoring the entry of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) from within Ethiopian lands throughout the month of February and the beginning of March 2026. These drones have reportedly been “dealing with targets” inside Sudan.
The ministry characterized the activity as “condemnable and rejected behavior,” stating that it represents a “flagrant violation of Sudan’s sovereignty and a clear aggression against the state.”
The statement further cautioned the Ethiopian authorities against continuing such actions. It emphasized Sudan’s right to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity, asserting that the government would take necessary measures to “confront such attacks by various means and methods.”
Ethiopia actively fueling Sudan war
This statement comes following Reuters investigation that revealed that Ethiopia has established a clandestine military camp to train thousands of Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitaries.
The Reuters investigation provides the first concrete evidence that Ethiopia is actively fueling the conflict by providing a “force multiplier” for the RSF.
- Direct Intervention: Ethiopia is now a primary staging ground for RSF reinforcements.
- Geopolitical Proxy: Extensive evidence links the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to the financing and logistics of this secret operation.
- Regional Flashpoint: The camp’s location near the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) risks turning Africa’s largest hydroelectric project into a military target.
