Press reports revealed Chad’s request to hold a dialogue with Sudan, starting at the level of the intelligence services in the two countries and then moving to the presidential level, in an attempt to calm diplomatic tensions between the two countries.
This move comes after the Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs suddenly summoned the Sudanese ambassador to Chad, Othman Muhammad Yunus, to the ministry’s headquarters in the interim administrative capital of Port Sudan, according to Al-Sudani newspaper.
The Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs is suffering from severe criticism because of what some observers consider a weakness in the performance of some of its ambassadors, especially in important positions.
Last November, Lieutenant General Yasser Al-Atta, Assistant Commander-in-Chief of the Sudanese Army and member of the Sovereignty Council, accused Chad of opening its airports to transport weapons and ammunition for the Rapid Support Forces.
This accusation led to escalation of tensions between the two countries, as N’Djamena declared four Sudanese diplomats as persona non grata and ordered them to leave the country within 72 hours.
