The Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs suddenly summoned its ambassador to Chad, Othman Muhammad Yunus, to the ministry’s headquarters in the temporary administrative capital of Port Sudan, according to what the “Sudanese” newspaper reported.

In July 2022, the Chairman of the Sovereignty Council and Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Lieutenant General Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, appointed five retired police and army officers to ambassadorial positions at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, including Ambassador Younis.

The Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs is being criticized by some observers who see 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 diplomatic tension 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.

This summons came in light of the ongoing tensions between Sudan and Chad, which may further complicate diplomatic relations between the two countries.
