RESPONSE TO WRONG REPORTING ON SUNA (SUDANESE NEWS AGENCY)

We would like to respond to the wrong article which appeared in SUNA, Sudan News Agency.

Ethiopian Airlines shipment of weapons to Sudan is a legal and commercial transportation of hunting guns with all proper documents of the shipper and the consignee. The hunting guns were held by security authorities in Addis Ababa for a long time for verification and the consignee sued Ethiopian in Sudanese court to either deliver the hunting guns or pay close to USD250,000 as compensation.

As we have got a clearance from Ethiopian security authorities after completing the due verification process, we shipped them to the consignee in Sudan.

We have all the documentations that prove the legality of the shipment including a letter from Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
