The leader of Sudan’s military, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, went to Asmara, the capital of Eritrea, to have a formal meeting with President Isaias Afwerki.
A statement from a government source said that the two leaders will talk about issues between their two countries, the situation in Sudan, and things that both countries are interested in. However, no additional information was provided.
Eritrea is the fourth country that Gen Burhan has been to since Sudan got involved in conflict in April of this year. He visited South Sudan, Egypt, and most recently, Qatar.
On 2 September, he said that Sudan’s border crossings with Eritrea would be opened again. This is so that it would be easier for people and goods to move between the two countries.
