While Sudan rules out interstate war with Ethiopia to prevent regional destabilization, tensions remain high due to accusations that Ethiopia is supporting the RSF with drones and exploiting the conflict to assert control over disputed border areas like al-Fashaga.

  • Sudanese Deputy Leader Malik Agar has explicitly stated that Khartoum does not seek military confrontation with Ethiopia, even as senior army officials accuse Addis Ababa of facilitating RSF drone strikes and pursuing territorial gains during the civil war.
