Sudan denied on Thursday any involvement in current fightings near the Chadian capital N' Djamena between government troops and rebels attempting to overthrow the administration of Chadian President Idris Deby.

"Sudan has nothing to do with the incidents in Chad and considers them as an internal affair," Minister of Foreign Affairs Lam Akol told reporters.

Akol affirmed that Sudan hoped neighboring Chad would remain stable, saying that instability in Chad would negatively affect security situation in Sudan.

He said that Sudan would keep its borders open to receive Chadian refugees expected to flow into Sudan to seek asylums.

It was reported on Thursday that Chadian rebels from the United Front for Change were moving on N'Djamena and spotted only 100 km from the capital.

Meanwhile, the Chadian government accused neighboring Sudan of supporting the rebels.

Khartoum denied the accusation, stressing its commitment to the Tripoli agreement signed by Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir and Chadian President Idris Deby during a mini African summit in the Libyan capital of Tripoli on Feb. 8.

Both Chad and Sudan promised in the agreement that they would not harbor rebels on their territories or conduct mutually hostile activities.
