The Sudanese Foreign Ministry on Saturday condemned the "misleading statements" by the Ethiopian army claiming that armed groups had entered the country through the Sudanese border to target an Ethiopian facility. Such baseless statements have a clear purpose for political consumption, the ministry said in a statement. Sudan is fully committed to the principles of good neighborliness and non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries, it added. The Ethiopian government has repeatedly cited Sudan whenever its internal situation worsened, the ministry said. It urged Addis Ababa to stop hostility in dealing with Sudan and to stop repeating allegations that are not supported by reality or logic against the country to achieve purposes of specific personalities and groups. Sudan controls its whole territory and internationally recognized borders with Ethiopia, and will not allow its lands to be exploited by any party, the statement concluded.
