Three Senior Eritrean military officers sought political asylum in the Sudan, according to a Diaspora based Eritrean opposition website by the name Asena who claimed the Sudanese independent Arabic newspaper Al-Sahafa reported about the officers.

The Sudanese newspaper, which failed to specify their rank, revealed that one of them was head of administrative issues and the other two were senior officials at the finance department in Sawa, the infamous military training camp where thousands forcibly conscripted Eritrean youth are obliged to do six months training, according to Asena. The report has not been confirmed by additional sources.

"Despite the Sudanese and Eritrean governments collaborated abduction of refugees, hundreds of Eritreans from all walks of life are massing to seek asylum in Sudan, daily", Asena added
