Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said Tuesday his country did not want war with Sudan, as tensions over a contested region along their border spark fears of broader conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"Ethiopia also has many problems, and we are not ready to go to battle. We don't need war. It is better to settle it in a peaceful manner,\" Abiy told parliament in remarks translated into English for a live TV broadcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He stressed later that Ethiopia \"did not want war\" with their neighbour over this decades-old territorial dispute, describing Sudan as a \"brotherly country\" whose people loved Ethiopia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The border quarrel is over Al-Fashaqa,<\/a> an agricultural area sandwiched between two rivers, where Ethiopia's northern Amhara and Tigray regions meet Sudan's eastern Gedaref state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The fertile farmland is claimed by both countries and has been a flashpoint for conflict, most recently as fighting in Ethiopia's Tigray region sent some 60,000 refugees fleeing into Sudan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On Tuesday, Sudan accepted a United Arab Emirates mediation proposal in an attempt to reduce tensions with Ethiopia over a border dispute and Addis Ababa's construction of a dam on the Nile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As violence in Ethiopia came closer, Khartoum sent troops into the Al-Fashaqa region, \"to recapture the stolen lands and take up positions on the international lines,\" Sudan's state media reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In December, Khartoum dispatched reinforcements to Al-Fashaqa after \"Ethiopian forces and militias\" allegedly ambushed Sudanese troops, killing at least four soldiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A string of deadly clashes followed, with both sides trading accusations of violence and territorial violations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sudan has in recent weeks claimed to have regained control of large swathes of the region, insisting it had always fallen within its boundaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Meanwhile, Addis Ababa accused Khartoum of having \"invaded land that is part of Ethiopia's territory\", warning it would resort to a military response if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The tit-for-tat exchanges stoked fears of a wider conflict erupting between the regional rivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It comes amid tension over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, a mega-dam on the Blue Nile, which downriver Khartoum and Cairo view as a threat to their water supply.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Ethiopia's leader Abiy Ahmed says 'we don't want war'
