Sudan war risks spreading after army strike inside Chad, US envoy warns

US envoy Massad Boulos expressed deep concern on Thursday over a reported Sudanese army air strike inside Chad, warning that the conflict risks spreading beyond the country's borders and destabilizing the region. In a conversation with Chad's President Mahamat Idriss Deby, Boulos emphasized the need to prevent external military and financial support to the rival forces fighting in Sudan.
