Sudan is re-opening its border with Eritrea which it closed a year ago because of suspicions of weapons trafficking, reports Reuters News agency.
The announcement was reportedly made on television by Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir.
He was speaking in Kassala, a town near the border in eastern Sudan:
Quote Message: I announce here, from Kassala, that we are opening the border with Eritrea because they are our brothers and our people. Politics will not divide us."
