Eriteria-Sudanese foreign ministers to meet in Doha soon

Sudanese sources told ArabicNews.com today that the foreign ministers of Sudan and Eriteria are going to meet in Doha - Qatar.

The Qatari foreign minister Sheikh Hamad Ben Jassem Ben Jabr Al-Thani visited Khartoum and Asmara at the end of the last month, delivering two messages from Qatar's Emir Hamsd Ben Khalifa to Sudanese president Omar El-Bashir and to Eriterian president Asiass Afourki in a Qatari initiative aimed at rectifying the atmosphere between the Sudan and Eritreria.

The sources said that this meeting will be held the day after tomorrow, constituting a first attempt at solving and putting an end to the dispute between them to open a new page in their bilateral relations.

Meanwhile, Sudan accused Eriteria yesterday of shelling a military site affiliated to it. A statement released by the Sudanese armed forces said that the side is inside Sudan on the borders with Eriteria near to the borders city Kasla.

The statement pointed out that three Eriterian units equipped with tanks and heavy artilleries have disturbed the site but the Sudanese forces confronted it forcing a retreat without any casualties being inflicted.
