KHARTOUM, May 30 (Xinhua) -- The Sudanese foreign ministry on Saturday summoned the Ethiopian charge d'affaires in the capital Khartoum in protest over a cross-border attack by Ethiopian militias on eastern Sudan.
The attack was "backed by the Ethiopian army" and killed a Sudanese army officer and injured a number of soldiers as well as civilians including children, according to a ministry statement.
The "sinful" attack came "at a time when preparations were underway in Khartoum to hold the second meeting of the high-level joint committee on border issues," the statement noted.
This is the first time that Sudan accuses the Ethiopian army of supporting the country's militias in attacking the Sudanese territories. Enditem
