CAIRO (Sputnik) - Sudan is recalling its ambassador to Ethiopia for consultations after the Ethiopian military allegedly kidnapped and killed seven Sudanese soldiers and a civilian, the Sudanese Foreign Ministry said Monday.

"Sudan is immediately withdrawing the ambassador to Ethiopia for consultations. The Ethiopian ambassador to Khartoum will be summoned today as well for lodging a protest against such inhumane actions," the ministry said in a statement.

The ministry said that Khartoum will refer a formal complaint to the UN Security Council and other relevant international organizations, adding that the Sudanese government reserves the right to protect its territory and the honor of the population, as guaranteed by the UN Charter.
