UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urgently appealed on Tuesday for the stabilization of situation across the border region between Chad and Sudan.
In a statement released by his spokesperson, Ban said he is deeply concerned by reports of continued movement of rebel groups across the Chadian-Sudanese border and by the possibility that these groups may launch cross-border attacks.
He called on the governments of Chad and Sudan to uphold their commitments under the March 13 Dakar Accord and to make every effort to ensure that rebel groups do not use their territory as a staging ground for incursions.
The secretary-general also called on the Contact Group, established under the Dakar Accord, to work with the parties in facilitating the implementation of the accord and reminded the parties that the United Nations stands ready to do everything within its capacity to assist them in stabilizing the border region.
