Chadian foreign minister to visit Sudan on Wednesday

December 21, 2009 (KHARTOUM) — The Chadian foreign minister is expected to visit the Sudanese capital on Wednesday to discuss way to normalize bilateral ties between the two countries.

Minister Moussa Faki Mahamat will purse talks with Sudanese on the issue of the Chadian rebels that Chad want to see expelled from Sudan or at least kept far from the border area.

Ghazi Salah Al-Deen was in Ndjamena on October 10 where he met with President Idriss Deby. The Sudanese Presidential envoy expressed Khartoum willingness to improve ties and end the current tensions between the two countries.

During a visit to Paris at the end of October, Deby said Sudanese President Omer Hassan Al-Bashir had committed himself to remove the Chadian rebels and to confine them far from the border. He also said he agreed to allow Sudan to verify the presence of Darfur rebels in his country.

Last week Sudan slammed remarks by the Chadian foreign ministry who had said no date had been fixed for a visit by Chadian delegation to Khartoum. The minister further added they had been expecting Sudan to evacuate the rebels from the border area and to send a delegation to verify the no presence of Sudanese rebels in Chad.

This week Sudan deployed thousands of Chadian rebels at Al Sayah in North Darfur. The state governor told the inhabitants of the area, who met him to protest the Chadian presence, that the rebels are redeployed in their area in accordance of an agreement with Ndjamena.

The lack of confidence between the two countries pushed each of them to ask the other to evacuate rebels from his territory.

The two countries signed many agreements in the past but failed to implement it. Last May the two countries signed a reconciliation agreement in Doha but one day after the Chadian rebels carried out an attack against government troops in the eastern part of Chad.

    Keeping the Chadian Opposition Forces far a way from the border it’s not a solution to the problem as Khartoum can activate these forces at moment’s notice. Furthermore, the local population of Darfur will fight to the death than to let foreigners take up their lands, therefore, the only solution, if Khartoum is serious is, to conduct, an immediate and unconditional verifiable disarmament to these forces, which is impossible, as the Janjaweeds until know is more than active in the region and Khartoum will depend heavily in the coming days, on mercenary forces to fight his battles with, as the Janjaweeds are claiming more dues . It is worth to mention here that, packages of agreements was signed between Chad and Khartoum, nevertheless the tension is increasing everyday as the Islamists of Khartoum have in their back mind changing of Idriss Debbe regime.
