Sudan has accused Ethiopia of allowing drones to be launched from its territory into Sudan to carry out attacks in February and March, the first time it has directly accused its powerful neighbour of involvement in the three-year civil war.

The Sudanese foreign ministry statement, released late on Monday, is the latest sign that one of the world's deadliest conflicts between the army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) is drawing in regional powers from Africa and beyond.
