UN Security Council slams rebel assault in Chad
UNITED NATIONS (AFP) — The UN Security Council on Monday unanimously agreed to a non-binding statement condemning the rebel attacks in Chad and urging member states to extend support to the beleaguered Ndjamena government.
The text, read out by the council chair for this month, Ambassador Ricardo Alberto Arias of Panama, "strongly condemns these attacks and all attempts at destabilization by force" and calls on member states "to provide support as requested by the government of Chad."
Sunday, in a letter to Arias, Chad's UN Ambassador Mahamat Adoum asked all member states "to provide it with all the assistance necessary to help it end this aggression."
