News: #Sudanese army says it downed drone crossing from #Ethiopia, third such incident in recent days

Sudan’s army said on Thursday it shot down a “hostile” drone that crossed into southeastern #Blue_Nile State from Ethiopian territory, marking the third such incident reported near the border in recent days, Sudan Tribune reported.

The military said the drone was intercepted on Thursday morning north of Sarkam. It did not identify the operator, specify the drone’s point of origin or say what its intended target was. Ethiopian authorities had not immediately commented on the allegation.

On 24 August, Addis Standard reported that Sudan’s Defense Ministry said it had shot down a “hostile” drone over the #Kurmuk area of Blue Nile State, near the Ethiopian border, alleging that it had been launched from Ethiopian territory.

An Ethiopian government drone strike hit a school in Tigray, destroying a World Bank-supported ICT center serving children. Education in Tigray has been targeted for years. The World Bank and international community must halt non-humanitarian funding to Ethiopia until these attacks end.

🚨A new @hrw investigation finds that #Tigrayans in #WesternTigray continue to face ongoing persecution by federally backed authorities. They are subjected to arbitrary detention, restrictions on their movements & employment, and denial of access to essential services.

Omna Tigray added its signature to a joint statement warning of rising tensions in the Horn of Africa that risk devolving into war between Ethiopia and Eritrea and a return to full-scale conflict in Tigray. We signed to amplify a message of peace, rooted in our unwavering humanitarian values and our commitment to ending the suffering of the Tigrayan people. Our decision was guided solely by the letter's substance and intent. Our goal is to advocate for the people of Tigray, and our intent at the moment, in addition to accountability, is to push international actors to intervene and stop this war before it starts. We know that the more groups that raise their voices together, the harder it is for the world to look away.

As part of our due diligence, we want to be transparent: we do not endorse or align with all of the positions and statements held by every signatory. Our community has reminded us of the harmful past work of one of the co-signing organizations @AmericaEthiopia. We've had internal conversations about it, and to be clear, we have no working relationship with them. We recognize that who we align ourselves with carries weight, even in name. We have decided to delete the post out of respect for the concerns raised — but make no mistake, we still stand strongly and united in our call: no war.

Accountability is at the core of everything we do, and that starts with holding ourselves to the same standard we hold others. Going forward, we will be more careful about who we co-sign alongside and ensure our name reflects our values.

[Tigray Disaster Relief FUND - TDRF @TdrFund]

The Tigray Disaster Relief Fund is allocating $20,000 USD for urgent emergency relief to internally displaced people in Tigray.

This is an immediate act of solidarity with families in crisis. A global fundraising campaign launches soon.

Stand with Tigray. Act now.

We call Humanitarian agencies for immediate intervention. Rights groups and international organizations have a moral and legal responsibility to address the situation and to exert meaningful pressure on the government to reverse policies that further disadvantage IDPs and refugee

5 years ago the deadliest war of the 21st century was declared on #Tigray. Despite the Pretoria agreement Tigray is still unstable, no justice for victims #TigrayGenocide & significant part of its region occupied

[Seifesilassie Gebremeskel @SeifGebre]

@SenateForeign Thank you, sir! The @WhiteHouse and @StateDept must use their full influence to ensure the complete implementation of the Pretoria Peace Agreement. This includes guaranteeing justice and accountability for the victims of the #TigrayGenocide. True peace requires truth and justice.

[Omna Tigray @OmnaTigray]

Five years since the genocide began, the people of Tigray continue to fight for justice, recovery, and peace.

Join us in Washington, DC - November 1–4, 2025 for a four-day commemoration and call to action.

Ethiopia risks sliding back into war, with Tigray once again at the center. As the Pretoria Agreement falters and tensions rise, urgent international action is needed.

Australia 🇦🇺 can play a key role—through diplomacy, aid, + support for accountability.

Is Ethiopia's Tigray on the brink of a fresh conflict? Yet another tense situation to keep track of. What do all these Horn of Africa envoys and regional institutions do with their time? https://t.co/OMm0Jyib8N

#Tigray embarks on rehabilitation of #Aksum Obelisk, restoration of Al-Nejashi Mosque amid push to revive tourism sector. The Sacred City of Axum and the Al Nejashi, #Africa’s earliest mosque, were deliberately destroyed as part of #TigrayGenocide.

At a commemoration in Toronto marking 4 years of #TigrayGenocide, @Lydia_speakhope, a survivor of the genocide against the Tutsi, spoke to the Tigrayan community. Lydia's parents were murdered in front of her when she was 6. Now, she's a psychotherapist & inspiration. 1/4

Four years of #TigrayGenocide:

In March 2021 @SecBlinken for the first time used the term #EthnicCleansing to describe #HumanRights abuse in #WesternTigray. However, his @StateDept failed to bring perpetrators to justice.
