Let me share with you and others what annoyed the sudanese vis-a-vis the emirates.
According to a sudanese diplomat who requested to remain anonym he disclosed that the Emirates initiative was to divide THE ALFASHGA area into 2, half goes to sudan and the other half to ethiopia. The ethios looked at it positively.
But....not the sudanese:
The sudanese authorities are emphasizing that according to the 1902 treaty, alfashga which then was abyssinian territory was awarded to sudan and in return BENI SHENGUL which belonged to sudan then was awarded to abyssinia.
As a result, the sudanese response to the emirates is, if we have to annulate the 1902 treaty be it.
