The Sudanese Foreign Ministry accused the international community of failing to provide aid to Sudanese refugees in Chad, who have been suffering from a three-month hiatus in humanitarian aid.

The ministry indicated in a statement on Saturday that some international bodies are focusing in a “suspicious” manner on opening the Adre border crossing between Chad and West Darfur State and are ignoring the suffering of Sudanese refugees in those areas.

This criticism comes at a time when the UAE and some UN agencies are calling for the opening of the aforementioned crossing to transport aid, but the Sudanese authorities refuse to open the crossing, accusing the Rapid Support Forces of using it to transport military equipment.
