FM: IGAD Action Amounts to Conspiracy

 

Khartoum – Sudan Events

Sudan’s Foreign Minister Ali Al Sadiq has accused the inter-governmental authority of conspiring against the Sudan citing the publication of a final communique without the consent of the Sudan saying this was tantamount to a conspiracy.
He complained in an interview with the national television that the draft communique which should have been forwarded to all member states, the same day was sent to the Sudan the next day at 10 in the morning and that the IGAD Secretariat did not include the Sudanese reservations and observations and went ahead with the unchanged text.
He said this conduct has spurred the Sudan into reacting and issuing the said statement in which it clarified its position and in which it said without accommodating those changes and observation, Sudan would not consider the final communiqué representative of what happened in the extraordinary summit.
Commenting on the summoning of Sudanese ambassador by the government of Chad which asked him to apologize for statements pronounced by the Deputy Commander of the Sudanese Armed Forces, lieutenant General Yasser Al Atta, the minister said the Sudan is not going to apologize at all.
He said at the beginning of the war Chad had adopted a good position towards the developments in the Sudan but regrettably that changed following exchange of visits with officials in the United Arab Emirates. From that moment on, the minister said, Chad started to be the point of delivering supply to the rebellion.
The minister has meanwhile said the Sudan did not seek the hostility position with the UAE, even though Khartoum has ample information about UAE involvement in the war and it was the UAE that started expelling Sudanese diplomats and that Sudan has responded with similar action in implementation of the international laws.
He said the statement made by Gen Al Atta came only after Sudan reached a deadlock on the issue.
