Russia calls for international intervention in Sudan-Chad conflict
May 22, 2009 (LONDON) – The international community must intervene to defuse tensions between Sudan and Chad, a senior Russian official said.
“If the international community does not undertake firm and needed steps to prevent conflict, the already tense situation in the region threatens to create a disaster” Margelov said.
He called on the international community to press both sides and hinted that the UN must also consider sending peacekeepers but did not elaborate.
Both oil producing nations have for years traded accusations of supporting rebel groups and providing them with bases to launch attacks.
Several regional efforts have helped broker reconciliation agreements as recent as this month in the Arab Gulf state of Qatar that have collapsed following rebel attacks from each side.
This month Chad said rebels coming from bases in Sudan launched attack inside its territory. Chad vowed to pursue the rebels inside Sudan.
Margelov said that Darfur region bordering Chad is under rebel control “without effective monitoring” from UN or international organizations. Furthermore he noted the arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for Sudanese president Omer Hassan Al-Bashir.
He said that all these factors combined contributed to the deterioration of the situation in the region.
The dispute between both countries is largely seen as a spillover from the six year conflict in Sudan’s western region of Darfur that displaced millions across the borders.

Nal dit Kum,
I think the word Nal dit Kum is insult in Arabic means fucks your religions and to you all of us including yourself man or lady. Why did you choose such a name on the website and defending Nuer side? I don’t think you are not a lady from Nuer because Nuer people will never behave like this behaviours. Are you an Arab person and you hiding yourself here be clear mate.
Why they international are talking about Sudan and Chan problem let them fight? If this fighting goes ahead we will be free including Riak Gai, he will run away from his god Al Bahasi and unite with us here in the South. This is a good thing to let Arabs salvers come out to us into the South.
