European Peace Foundation calls on Ethiopia, Sudan to de-escalate tensions

The European Peace Foundation has urged Ethiopia and Sudan to take immediate steps to de-escalate rising border tensions. The foundation explicitly called on both governments to end their support for armed groups operating against each other across their shared borders. It warned that the ongoing hostilities are significantly worsening the suffering of civilians in both nations. The appeal highlights the need for diplomatic engagement rather than confrontation to resolve territorial disputes. The foundation emphasized that continued conflict undermines regional stability and urged both sides to prioritize peace talks to address the underlying issues.
