Leaders of Sudan, Ethiopia agree to focus on peace

Ethiopia's Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and Chairman of Sudan's Transitional Sovereign Council Abdel Fattah al-Burhan reached consensus on Tuesday for peaceful resolution to disagreements, after the two leaders met for the first time since the two countries' falling-out over a border conflict that began a few weeks ago.

The meeting happened on the sidelines of the 39th Intergovernmental Authority on Development's Extraordinary Summit of the Assembly of Heads of State and Government held in Nairobi, Kenya.

After the meeting, Ahmed took to Twitter to announce that the two countries had reached consensus that their people have plenty of shared aspirations in life and need to work on peacefully achieving them.
