As per the reports of the BBC, a war of words has heightened between the two countries over Ethiopia’s calls for its access to the Red Sea through Eritrea. While Addis Ababa demands its access to the Red Sea, Asmara denies it. Escalated war of words has led to tensions between the two parties in the Horn of Africa and fears of a war.

The possibility of a humanitarian ceasefire has raised hope in Sudan. The ceasefire may be reached between the two warring parties such as the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) soon to facilitate the humanitarian aid in Sudan. The RSF has already agreed to the humanitarian ceasefire proposal from the United States and several other countries, though there has yet to be any response from the Sudanese government forces to it. This is a promising move and — perhaps — can create a scope for ending the civil war in Sudan, which has been going on for more…
