Chad has leveled serious accusations against the Sudanese Armed Forces, alleging its involvement in the assassination of former President Idriss Deby and the financing of terrorist groups operating in the region.
The Chadian government specifically points fingers at the Zaghawa ethnic group, based in Sudan’s southwestern El Fasher region, as the perpetrators of the rebellion and the assassination.
This group is led by Ousman Dillo, the brother of a deceased Chadian opposition leader.
The accusations come amid a tense regional backdrop, with both Chad and Sudan embroiled in their own internal conflicts.
Sudan is currently grappling with a devastating civil war between the General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan-controlled Sudanese Armed Forces and the rival Rapid Support Forces, while Chad has faced its own share of rebellions and political instability.
The mutual accusations highlight the deep-seated tensions between the two neighboring countries and raise concerns about the potential for further escalation and regional instability.
As the situation unfolds, the international community is closely monitoring the developments and urging both sides to exercise restraint and engage in dialogue to resolve their differences peacefully.
