The Italian embassy in Sudan on
Sunday moved to the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa due to ongoing
fighting between rival generals in Sudan which has reaped
thousands of victims.
The Italian Ambassador to Sudan, Michele Tommasi, together with
some collaborators and two Carabinieri units, landed Sunday
morning in Addis Ababa, where the Italian Embassy in Khartoum
"will be temporarily reconstituted at our diplomatic
representation in Ethiopia," said the Italian foreign ministry,
the Farnesina.
"Ambassador Tommasi and our staff will continue to ensure that
the office is fully operational from Addis Ababa, to best
guarantee Italy's contribution to Sudan's pacification efforts,"
said Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani.
