KASSALA: Residents of an east Sudanese town said on Monday (Tuesday in Manila) they had seen bodies washing up the river on the border with Ethiopia's conflict-hit Tigray Region in recent days.
The unidentified bodies were floating on the Setit River - known in Ethiopia as the Tekeze, which runs through its northern Tigray Region - since Saturday, according to residents from Wad al-Hilou in Sudan's Kassala state.
