Sudan And Chad To Restore Diplomatic
Relations “In Response To Wade’s
Brotherly Appeal”
July 18, 2008
Dakar - Sudan President Omar
al-Beshir has agreed to restore relations with Chad, mediator
Senegal said on Friday, more than two months after Khartoum
severed ties accusing Ndjamena of backing Darfuri rebels.
Relations between Chad and Sudan have been difficult for more
than five years with the two countries regularly accusing each
other of supporting rebel factions fighting against their
respective regimes.
Diplomatic relations broke off in mid-May after an attack near
the Sudanese capital Khartoum by a Darfur rebel group, the
Justice and Equality Movement (JEM). Ndjamena denied any
involvement.
"The president of the republic of Sudan... accepts the
restoration of diplomatic relations between Chad and Sudan in
response to the solemn appeal from his brother, (Chadian)
President Abdoulaye Wade," a statement from the Senegalese
presidency said.
The west African country's Foreign Minister Moussa Faki Mahamat
has been mediating at talks in Dakar aimed at leading the
bellicose neighbours on the path of conciliation.
Sudan severed diplomatic ties with Chad on May 11, accusing
Ndjamena of backing a first Darfur rebel assault on Khartoum,
and slapped a multi-million dollar price on the head of the
alleged mastermind.
The government eventually repulsed the JEM assault which saw the
insurgents reach Khartoum's outskirts with the declared intent
of toppling the regime.
But the accusations are often traded in the other direction. In
February, rebels allegedly backed by Khartoum advanced as far as
the gates of the presidential palace in Ndjamena before being
repulsed.
Mishaal expresses solidarity with Bashir in
a telephone contact
Meanwhile, Khaled Mishaal, the political bureau chairman of
Hamas Movement, on Thursday made a telephone contact with
Sudanese president Omar Al-Bashir to express solidarity of his
Movement with the Sudanese leadership and people.
Hamas in a press release said that Mishaal expressed absolute
denunciation of the general prosecutor of the international
criminal court for demanding a warrant for the arrest of Bashir
on alleged crimes against humanity in Darfur.
He said that the step reflected the extent of international
institutions' subjugation to the American administration, which
exercises "brutal crimes" in Iraq and Afghanistan and extends
unlimited support for Israeli occupation's crimes against the
Palestinian people.
Mishaal also voiced his Movement's solidarity with the Sudan
in face of the new "conspiracy" that targets the country through
its head of state.
Hamas had earlier condemned the prosecutor's step, describing
it as "shameful" in an official statement.
