Ethiopia expels six Sudanese diplomats amid rising tensions

Ethiopia has expelled six Sudanese diplomats as relations between the two countries deteriorate over mutual accusations of supporting each other's rivals, according to Reuters.

Sudan has directly accused Ethiopia of backing the Rapid Support Forces, while Addis Ababa claims Khartoum is supporting rebels in Ethiopia's northern Tigray region.

Sudan has filed complaints with the United Nations Security Council and the African Union Peace and Security Council, alleging that Addis Ababa allowed the Rapid Support Forces to use Ethiopian territory to launch drone attacks targeting civilian infrastructure in Sudan.

Ethiopia has denied providing assistance to the Rapid Support Forces in Sudan and continues to accuse Khartoum of supporting Tigray rebels.
