Ethiopia welcomes Juba s offer of mediation in standoff with Sudan
The Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia has welcomed South Sudan s initiative to mediate its border dispute with the Republic of Sudan.
Addressing the press in Juba on Saturday, Zelalem Birhan Alemu, Ethiopia’s deputy head of mission said that Ethiopia welcomes any initiative from any country if it will lead to mutual peace between the two countries.
“South Sudan has offered to mediate, we say any mediation Ethiopia welcomes. Ethiopia always stands for negotiations and peaceful resolution of problems so any initiative is welcome. On 6 November 2020, the Sudanese encroached Ethiopian territory so we need that to be reversed to have that negotiation. So, any negotiation initiatives are welcome,” the Ethiopian envoy said. “The border issue with Sudan has been there for a long time and in 1972 we had an agreement to renegotiate the border and demarcate the border.”
