23 May 2009 The United Nations-African Union
operation has joined a growing chorus calling for an
end to a recent surge in violence along the volatile
Chad-Sudan border.
Rodolphe Adada, UN-AU joint special representative,
issued a statement calling on leaders in Chad and
Sudan to end the violence along the two countries'
border, which has added increased pressure on the
already fragile internally displaced persons and
refugee camps in the region, the United Nations
reported.
Adada said violence will not solve the rebel tensions
in the region and that opening a dialogue is critical.
According to a news release, the UN-AU mission called
on governments in the region to "refrain from any act
that may lead to a further escalation of tensions,
which could exacerbate the suffering of Darfur's
(Sudan) civilians, particularly the many internally
displaced persons and refugees in the region."
