The Sudanese News Agency reported today, Sunday, that Sudan has ordered three Chadian diplomats to leave the country within 72 hours, describing them as "undesirable persons." The agency added that this action follows Chad's announcement that four Sudanese diplomats working at the Sudanese embassy in N'Djamena were declared undesirable persons on Saturday. Chad stated that its decision was due to what it described as "serious statements" from Sudanese officials accusing it of interfering in the conflict in their country.
