The allegations and counter-allegations, which both sides deny, ​have raised fears that the two wars could bleed into each other, ​spawning a broader conflict in the Horn of Africa.

On Sunday, ⁠Sudan’s government said it had lodged a complaint against Ethiopia with the ​United Nations Security Council and the African Union’s Peace and Security Council, accusing ​Ethiopia of allowing the RSF to use its territory to launch suicide drones against civilian infrastructure in Sudan.

The spokesperson for the Ethiopian prime minister’s office did not immediately respond ​to a Reuters request for comment.
