KHARTOUM, April 6 (Reuters) - Sudan s Cabinet voted on Tuesday to repeal a 1958 law that forbade diplomatic and business relations with Israel, it said in a statement, the latest development in relations between the two countries.
The move needs the approval of a joint meeting of Sudan s sovereign council and Cabinet, which serves as Sudan s interim legislative body, to come into effect, the Cabinet said.
While Sudan s civilian authorities have maintained that the decision to initiate relations with Israel would be left to the yet-to-be-formed transitional parliament, Tuesday s vote is seen as a step that could pave the way for official visits and further diplomatic ties.

CAIRO, Dec 30 (Reuters) - The Egyptian foreign ministry summoned the Ethiopian Chargé d’Affairs to Cairo on Wednesday to provide clarifications over comments made by the spokesman of the Ethiopian foreign ministry, it said.
The comments “addressed” Egyptian internal affairs, the ministry added without providing more details.
It was not immediately clear what comments had angered Egypt. Egyptian officials were not immediately available to comment.
However, Qatar’s Al Jazeera Media Network reported earlier today that Dina Mufti, the Ethiopian foreign ministry spokesperson, attacked Cairo for criticizing a giant dam that Addis Ababa is building on the Blue Nile and using the project to cover several internal problems.
