| (Xinhua) -- The Sudanese government Thursday rejected and denounced Chad's repeated accusations of Sudan's support to Chadian opposition, describing a threat made by Chadian Foreign Minister Ahmat Allami as "a declaration of war." In a press statement, the Sudanese Foreign Ministry said that Chad had continued making these allegations and false accusations leading the Chadian foreign minister to threat Sudan of invasion. Expressing regret and astonishment over the Chadian foreign minister's remarks, the statement affirmed Sudan's legitimate right and capability to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity in accordance with the international laws and charters. It reiterated Sudan's commitment to good neighborliness relations and non-intervention in internal affairs of other states. Meanwhile, the Sudanese government reaffirmed commitment to all agreements it had signed with Chad including Tripoli Agreement signed on Feb. 6, 2007 and Riyadh Agreement reached on Oct. 25,2007. It urged all friendly countries and the regional and international organizations to shoulder their responsibilities towards the declared threats against Sudan. It is reported that the Chadian Foreign Minister has accused the Sudanese government of propping up the rebel forces waging a military offensive to unseat Chadian President Idriss Deby, threatening to send military forces to invade neighboring Sudan. |
