  1. They may need such arrangement to avert and fight off terrorism. The danger is still there in that part of the region.

  2. Recently in an effort to slow the spread of Covid-19 hundreds of Bajaj transportations owned by Ethiopians and Eritreans used to transport the public got confiscated by the Sudanese government. It seems Ethiopians and Eritreans are forced to leave Sudan, heading to Ethiopia where two hundred people lost their lives to Covid-19 so far. In the meantime USA is considering to block aids humanitarian helps to Ethiopia. Ethiopia’s economy is on a verge of a collapse .
