A day after Darfur rebels attacked Sudan’s capital Khartoum, things continue to unfold with reactions on both sides.

Darfur leader Khalil Ibrahim threatened Sudan with a follow up of the assaults. As a response, Sudan officials made public their intention to cut diplomatic relations with Chad, as they consider that the governing entities of the neighboring country are neglectful of the situation.

“We are forced to sever diplomatic relations with this regime. We place the entire responsibility for this attack on Chad,” said Sudanese President Omar al Beshir on state television.

The curfew that had been decreed was lifted in Khartoum, but stays available for Omdurman, according to the Associated Press.

A special hotline was put at citizens’ disposal, in case anybody sees Khalil Ibrahim. The Darfur leader is suspected to be hiding in Omdurman. The state television broadcasted his picture, so that he be recognizable by anyone.

Discussions between Sudan and rebel groups have failed. Rebels assert that Sudan is stalling the U.N.’s undertakings, which are meant to establish peace in the area. They also say that Sudanese authorities offered help to the rebels who tried to attack the Chadian capital N’Djamena in February.

Therefore, although these countries signed a peace agreement in March this year ensuring each other that there will be no attacks on any of the two sides, Sudan and Chad are still very vehemently adverse to one another.
