Chad calls on Angola for aid to stop Sudanese aggression

Dec 13, 2006 (LUANDA) — Chadian president, Idriss Deby, appealed to Angolan head of State, José Eduardo dos Santos, for “all possible assistance” for his government to put an end to the military aggression from Sudan, backed by seven Arab countries.

The message, he told journalists at the end of the 20-minute audience, reports on aspects linked to the political and military situation prevailing in Chad, currently being attacked by Sudan, backed by seven Arab countries.

He said that the message also focuses on the wish of the authorities of his country to bring to an end the war that has claimed the lives of many innocent people.

The Government of Chad has been accusing Sudan of launching a destabilisation war from Darfur, where tens of thousand people were killed in inter-ethnic and political confrontation since 2003, with the Sudanese authorities denying the charge.
