June 29, 2026 (KHARTOUM) – On Monday, the Sudanese authorities declared they will maintain the Adré border point with Chad operational for another three months after a UN surveillance and oversight system was finalized.
It stated that these additional steps will improve openness and guarantee that relief supplies arrive at their proper beneficiaries.
Sudan has repeatedly called for control at the Adré checkpoint, alleging that the RSF is using the border location to traffic arms coming from the UAE through Chad.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs mentioned that the extension "demonstrates the government's interest and ongoing initiatives to ensure the provision of humanitarian assistance to those impacted, as well as its dedication to offering essential support for humanitarian activities."
It highlighted that this action demonstrates an intention to enhance collaboration and communication with United Nations agencies, along with global, regional, and local humanitarian groups, in line with domestic regulations and international humanitarian law.
"The choice to prolong the operation of the Adré checkpoint falls under the government's favorable stance towards working alongside the global community and humanitarian organizations," the ministry stated.
The department urged all relief groups to intensify their work and utilize the resources offered by the authorities to make sure assistance arrives at everyone who requires it throughout Sudan.
The United Nations and numerous global humanitarian organizations depend significantly on the Adre passage to deliver critical assistance to the war-affected areas of Darfur and Kordofan.
UN welcomes border extension
Spencer Dujarric, the representative of UN Chief Antonio Guterres, expressed approval of the extension at a midday press conference on Monday, highlighting that it will enable the sustained provision of assistance amid persistent unrest.
Dujarric cautioned that fighting continues close to the Chad border, leading certain aid organizations to halt their activities because of worsening safety issues and communication disruptions.
Although conditions remain unstable, aid operations persist throughout Darfur, as reported by the spokeswoman, with UN collaborators having provided money to 250 households and supplying regular food supplies to over 42,000 individuals in Western Darfur.
The United Nations once again urged all sides involved in the conflict to safeguard civilians and their facilities, as well as ensure free passage for humanitarian aid across the nation.
