Chad accuses Sudan of deadly air strike near shared border
An air strike on a fuel market near Chad's border with Sudan killed 12 and injured seven, according to officials.
US President Donald Trump's Africa envoy, Massad Boulos, strongly condemned the air strikes carried out by Sudan's military within Chad's borders. This occurred after Chadian authorities reported bombings in the eastern Ennedi region last week. The United States has also made its disapproval known in response to the Sudanese Armed Forces' recent air strikes.
Boulos emphasized on X, "The violence must stop in Sudan and beyond. There is no military solution to this conflict—and absolutely no justification for expanding the violence beyond Sudan’s borders." He urged both the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the breakaway paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) to immediately accept a humanitarian truce, safeguard civilians, and permit unhindered humanitarian access.
Boulos further called upon the United Nations Security Council, where the US holds veto power, to reinforce the arms embargo and sanctions packages.
