"Sudan has summoned its ambassador to Ethiopia for consultations to determine its options regarding the conflict in Ethiopia's Tigray region," the ministry said.

On Saturday, Ethiopian officials reportedly accused Sudan of crippling the efforts aiming to end the conflict in the Tigray region.

The Sudanese foreign ministry criticized the Ethiopian statements, reiterating Sudan's supportive stance to resolving the conflict in the region.

"Sudan's concern to resolve the conflict in Tigray is part of its commitment to the regional peace and stability," it noted, voicing Sudan's expectation of Ethiopia's stability and its solidarity with Ethiopia in facing the challenges.

The ministry further mentioned the initiative proposed by the Sudanese Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok aiming to encourage the parties in Ethiopia to reach a cease-fire and enter into a comprehensive political dialogue to preserve the unity and stability. — Agencies
