(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 28 - The Italian embassy in Sudan on Sunday moved to the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa due to ongoing fighting between rival generals in Sudan which has reaped thousands of victims.
    The Italian Ambassador to Sudan, Michele Tommasi, together with some collaborators and two Carabinieri units, landed Sunday morning in Addis Ababa, where the Italian Embassy in Khartoum "will be temporarily reconstituted at our diplomatic representation in Ethiopia," said the Italian foreign ministry, the Farnesina.
    "Ambassador Tommasi and our staff will continue to ensure that the office is fully operational from Addis Ababa, to best guarantee Italy's contribution to Sudan's pacification efforts," said Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani.
