The Foreign Ministry has denied Chadian accusations of violating its airspace.
The Spokesman of the Ministry, Ambassador Ali Al-Sadiq described the Chadian accusations as “fishing in troubled water.”
Chad accused Sudan of violating its airspace by flying over a Chadian town on the border with Sudan and said it will not tolerate any further violation of its territory.
Chadian Information Minister Mohammed Hussein said in a statement that "Sudan's air force has multiplied flights over ... Bahay, in Chad, over the last few days.”
He added that Chad will not tolerate any further violation of its airspace.
The statement pointed out that steps had been taken to inform the U.N. Security Council and the African Union.
