28/6/2024: Sudan Tribune – Sudan recalls ambassador from Chad over allegations of supporting RSF

Sudan Tribune report that Sudan has recalled its ambassador from Chad over escalating tensions concerning border control and alleged Chadian support for the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

A government insider revealed to Sudan Tribune that Chad is actively aiding the RSF by opening its borders for UAE supplies, facilitating the movement of RSF commanders and recruiting foreign fighters.

The source further alleged “Chad is complicit in meddling in Sudanese affairs by using its territory as a conduit for RSF supplies. All Emirati aid to the militia is channeled through Chad, and Sudan has presented evidence to support this claim.”

A diplomatic source confirmed to Sudan Tribune that Sudan had formally submitted a detailed report to the Chadian government concerning border security, but it “fell on deaf ears”.

Sudan’s UN ambassador Al-Harith Idris previously accused Chad of becoming the primary supply line for the RSF, providing weapons, supplies, and mercenaries.
