Port Sudan, Sudan: Sudan's de facto leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, who has led the army in a war against paramilitaries for over a year, on Tuesday hosted Ethiopian prime minister Abiy Ahmed.
Ahmed's visit to the Red Sea coastal town of Port Sudan -- currently the seat of the army-aligned government -- is the highest-level state visit since the war began between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces in April 2023.
"It is a testament to the depth of relations" between the two countries, Sudan's ruling Transitional Sovereignty Council said in a statement.
In a closed-door meeting, Burhan briefed Ahmed on the "crimes and atrocities" committed by the RSF as part of the "terrorist militia's rebellion against the state and its institutions," his council said.
According to the Ethiopian premier's office, Tuesday's meeting comes in the context of Ahmed's "commitment to finding sustainable solutions for Sudan's stability".
