Sudan announced that the border was opened after a constructive dialogue with the Ethiopian authorities.
It will be remembered that a month ago, Sudan filed a lawsuit claiming that seven members of the Sudanese army and one civilian were killed in Ethiopia's defense.
At the time, the Ethiopian government expressed its sadness at the loss of human lives and stated that the information spread in Sudan was far from the truth.
The Ethiopian government mentions that the problem occurred in the Ethiopian army and it should not be forgotten that the problem occurred with the local militia and not with the defense army.
Following this accusation, Sudan closed the Galabat border crossing a month ago.
Suna, the Sudanese news agency, informed the Technical Committee of the Security and Defense Council of Sudan that the decision to open the border crossing was made after the leaders of the two countries agreed to resolve the problem at the border.
It has been stated that "the goodwill shown by Ethiopia" to control the armed forces in the border area is one of the reasons for the opening of the border gate.
Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed (Dr.) and Sudanese leader Lt. General Abdel Fattah Al Burhan recently attended the IGAD meeting in Nairobi, the capital city of Kenya.
