- Chad · Day 6
Mr. President, my delegation would like to once again exercise a right of reply following the statement delivered by the representative of Sudan.
Chad once again categorically rejects with the greatest firmness these absolutely groundless allegations.
Chad has already responded to the report that was alluded to, which provides no material evidence and which does nothing but peddle allegations that come from dubious sources.
