Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir Thursday announced opening the border with Eritrea after a year's closure.

 

Addressing thousands of his supporters in Kassala city near Eritrea, al-Bashir declared that the border would be re-opened immediately.

“Here from Kassala, I announce the opening of the border with Eritrea. They are our brothers, the policies may divide us for sometime, but what brings us together is bigger because of the joint history and geography,” he said.

Sudan closed the border in January 2018, and deployed thousands of troops to protect the region from alleged Eritrean threat.
