Sudan and Ethiopia have accused each other of fanning tension on the border.

Sudanese Information Minister Faisal Mohamed Saleh accused Ethiopia of attacking his country's territory and farmers. He said Sudan does not want war but its forces would respond to any aggression. 

On the other hand, Ethiopia warned that it is running out of patience with Sudan's continued military build-up in a disputed border area.  

The two countries have long feuded over the al-Fashqa region.
