Sudan’s Foreign Ministry announced the expulsion of four Chadian diplomats in response to a similar move by Chad.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Chadians Abroad and International Cooperation informed the Sudanese embassy in N’Djamena of the government’s decision to classify four diplomats from Sudan working in Chad as “persona non grata” and gave them 72 hours to leave the country.
The list included First Counselor at the Embassy, Mukhtar Bilal Abdul Salam Al-Abbas, Military Attaché, Abdul Rahim Al-Awad Al-Tom, Consul in N’Djamena, Haj Abdullah Al-Haj Ahmed, and Deputy Consul General Resident in Abshieh, Muhammad Al-Haj Bakhit Farah.
The ministry said in a statement signed by the government spokesman that the decision was issued in response to statements by Yasser al-Atta, deputy chief of staff of the Sudanese Armed Forces, in which he accused Chad of interfering in the internal Sudanese conflict, describing the statements as “baseless.”
In a related context, the Sudanese Foreign Minister-designate, Ali al-Sadiq, announced in press statements last week that Khartoum will not apologize for Atta’s statements to a crowd of forces in the capital, regarding Chad’s role in delivering supplies to the Rapid Support Forces, stressing that Sudan handed it images and evidence, including satellite images and aerial photography, proving that it supports the Rapid Support Forces logistically.
The conflict between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces erupted in mid-April, killing thousands, and driving more than a million to flee to neighboring countries, amid accusations of some countries supporting the RSF.
