The ⁣Republic of Sudan has submitted⁢ a complaint against the Republic of Chad to the African‍ Commission on Human and ⁤People’s Rights of the African Union. The complaint, filed on behalf of the Committee for the Establishment ​and Follow-up ‌of⁢ International‌ Cases against the Rapid Support Forces of the rebels, their leaders, ‌and the countries that support them, was authorized by the President of ⁢the Transitional Sovereignty Council.

The complaint, submitted to the African ⁢Commission’s ‍headquarters in⁢ Banjul, Gambia, alleges Chad’s involvement‍ in supporting and aiding the rebel ⁤Quick⁤ Aid ⁤militia‍ in​ committing crimes and atrocities. These crimes include genocide, war ⁤crimes, ⁤and crimes against humanity, such as murder, rape, sexual violence, forced displacement, destruction of infrastructure, recruitment of children, ‌looting of public and private property, ⁢and occupation of citizens’ homes.

The Sudanese government’s complaint provides facts, evidence, and conclusive proof of Chad’s role in supporting the rebel militia. This support ​has played a‍ significant role in prolonging the war and enabling the ‍militia to commit ⁢these ‌heinous crimes.
