KHARTOUM, Sudan
Sudan government pledged to support the efforts of Chad’s military council to preserve security and stability and called for a national dialogue to achieve a peaceful transition in the neighbouring country.
Mohamed
Hamdan Dagalo, deputy head of the Transitional Sovereign Council travelled on
Tuesday to Ndjamena for talks with the head of the military council Mahamat
Idriss Deby who took power a week ago after the death of his father in a battle
against a rebel group.
Hemetti
was accompanied by two members of the collegial Sovereignty Council, Malik Agar
and Hadi Idris.
A
video about the visit by the Sudan News Agency showed the head of the Sudanese
delegation speaking in a meeting with the chief of the military council in Chad
and some militaries.
Hemetti
promised to support the military council in Chad to achieve national
reconciliation and stability in his country.
Also,
he said Sudan will not host or support any opposition group that works to
destabilize the new government.
"Anyone
hostile to the Chadian government is an enemy of Sudan whose people want to
establish a democratic rule that achieves stability in their country," he
said.
"We
believe that democracy is the best for us and we see the stability it bought in
Niger," he stressed.
The
visiting Sudanese official pointed to the strong relations between the people
of the two countries saying that any development in one of the two countries
affects the other.
He
further called for the continuation of the work of the joint security committees
and to strengthen the capabilities of the joint border forces.
On
22 April, French Special Envoy to Sudan Jean Michel Dumont met with Hemetti to
discuss the situation in Chad.
"We
agree to use all the contacts we have in Chad to convince everyone to make the
necessary efforts to achieve peaceful and swift transition in Chad" Dumont
said after the meeting.
France
calls to support the interim military council in Chad which pledges to hold
general elections in 18 months. Paris also calls to name a civilian government
to lead the transition.
The
visit of the Sudanese delegation coincided with protests across the country
calling for a return to civilian rule.
Two
people at least were killed and 27 wounded as the security forces opened fire
to disperse protesters.
