Sudan: The Darfur Rebel Leader unwelcomed in Chad

By on May 21, 2010
Chad refused the entry on its territory to the leader of the most powerful rebel group of the Darfur, on Wednesday, preventing him from joining his movement in the Sudanese region.

Khalil Ibrahim, the rebel leader, pays the price of the normalisation of the relations between Chad and Sudan while the Movement for the justice and the equality (MJE) was considered up to here as very close to the Chadian power. But today, he is sacrificed on the altar of the good relations which prevail henceforth between the Chad and Sudan. «The presence of Khalil Ibrahim on the Chadian ground can hamper the reactivation of Ndjamena / Khartum good relations”, explained the Chadian Minister of the Interior.
The Chadian authorities had seized the documents of Khalil Ibrahim and those of the delegation members accompanying him, explaining them that they had to return to the country where they came from. The flight crew, however, refused to bring them back to Libya, because of the missing documents.
The spokesman of the Movement for justice and equality (MJE) has addressed the Chadian authority and the joint UN-UA mediator to intervene and authorise Khalil Ibrahim to return to his western region of Darfur, in Sudan, where seven years of rebellion have made hundreds of thousands of victims.
