| Sudan, Chad trade accusations of aiding rebels |
| 2009-05-10 |
| [Mail and Globe] Sudan and its neighbour Chad accused each other on Friday of aiding rebels determined to topple their respective governments as fears grew that a new peace deal signed by Khartoum and N'Djamena could collapse. The two countries signed an agreement in Doha this week in which they agreed to normalise relations and reject any support for rebel groups hostile to either of them. Days later they accused each other of breaking their word as fighting between government forces and rebels in eastern Chad intensified. The UN Security Council issued a unanimous statement condemning what it described as military incursions "coming from outside" Chad -- which diplomats said referred to Sudan. |
