Chad demands international action on refugees

Prime Minister Nouradin Koumakoye said Sudan’s government foments violence in Chad — including backing a failed coup attempt last week — because of the refugees’ presence. Sudan has denied involvement in the coup.

“We demand that the international community transfer the population [of Sudanese refugees] from Chad to Sudan to free us,” said Mr Koumakoye. “We want the international community to look for another country so that the Sudanese can leave. If they cannot do it, we are going to do it.”
