Sudan's armed forces now in control of all its territory - foreign minister

Sudan's armed forces have taken control of all of its territory, Foreign Minister Omar Gamareldin said in a press conference on Thursday, as border tensions with neighbour Ethiopia continue to flare.

Clashes have occurred in recent days over agricultural land in the al-Fashqa area which lies within Sudan's international boundaries but has long been settled by Ethiopian farmers.
