In response to a request from United Nations agencies, Sudan's Transitional Sovereign Council (TSC) has agreed to open the Adré border crossing with Chad for three months to facilitate the flow of humanitarian aid to those affected by the ongoing conflict in the country's western Darfur region.The decision comes after Sudanese authorities initially resisted opening the crossing, citing concerns over potential weapon smuggling to the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, which have been engaged in clashes with the national army since April 2023.According to a statement from the TSC, the country's Humanitarian Aid Commission has been directed to open the Adré crossing with "usual and agreed-upon controls" to ensure the aid reaches its intended recipients.The move follows recent efforts by UN agencies to ramp up aid deliveries from Chad via the Tine crossing, which is now facing logistical challenges due to heavy rainfall.The Sudanese government has previously accused the United Arab Emirates of supplying the RSF with military equipment via the border with neighboring Chad.

Sudan Opens Border With Chad to Flow of Humanitarian Aid Amid Conflict With RSF

Since it began on April 15, 2023, the conflict in Sudan between the army and the Rapid Support Forces, led by former Sovereign Council deputy chairman Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, has reportedly resulted in the killing of over 15,000 civilians, the displacement of 10 million, and fueled waves of ethnically motivated violence largely blamed on the RSF.
In response to a request from United Nations agencies, Sudan's Transitional Sovereign Council (TSC) has agreed to open the Adré border crossing with Chad for three months to facilitate the flow of humanitarian aid to those affected by the
ongoing conflict in the country's western Darfur region.
The decision comes after Sudanese authorities initially resisted opening the crossing, citing concerns over potential weapon smuggling to the paramilitary
Rapid Support Forces, which have been engaged in clashes with the national army since April 2023.
According to a statement from the
TSC, the country's Humanitarian Aid Commission has been directed to open the Adré crossing with "usual and agreed-upon controls" to ensure the aid reaches its intended recipients.
The move follows recent efforts by UN agencies to ramp up aid deliveries from Chad via the Tine crossing, which is now facing logistical challenges due to heavy rainfall.
The Sudanese government has previously accused the United Arab Emirates of supplying the RSF with military equipment via the border with neighboring Chad.
