The threats were made by Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Sudanese Army, Yasir al-Atta, who said on Sunday that his Army could bomb the N’Djamena and Amdjarass international airports in the northeast region, bordering Sudan.

Al-Atta, who is also a member of Sudan’s Sovereign Transitional Council, accused the Chadian government of helping the RSF troops as a gateway for arms from the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The Chadian Foreign Ministry, in turn, rejected and condemned the Sudanese military high-ranking officer’s threats which, if they were to materialize, it said, could be interpreted as a declaration of war.

For analysts, any military escalation outside Sudanese borders could create a tense situation in the whole North Africa region.
