UN boss warns of troops on border as Chad and Sudan pen deal

May 3, 2009 (NEW YORK) – The Secretary-General of the United Nations, Ban Ki-Moon, today was concerned at reports about the recent build-up and movement of armed elements on both sides of the Chad-Sudan border, said his spokesperson.

The statement on the military build-up comes as Sudan and Chad signed a commitment in Qatar to work toward ending hostilities, and it follows a similar remark from the US State Department spokesman last week.

Military activities have been reported last week by both Chadian rebels based in Sudan and state-run news. As the dry season draws to a close, rapid movement by armed convoys will become slower especially across the dried wadis that seasonally fill with water.

Agreements between the Government of Sudan and that of Chad have deteriorated over mutual support to rebels based on each other’s territories. But the UN Secretary-General hailed “normalization” talks between the two governments held this week.

Noting the military developments, Ban’s spokesperson stated “the Secretary-General welcomes the discussions towards the normalization of bilateral relations between the Governments of Chad and Sudan held this week in Doha and calls on both parties to make every effort to ease tensions.”
