MOSCOW, January 16. /TASS/. Any attempts to cast doubt on the political dialogue between Moscow and N'Djamena are doomed to failure, the Russian Embassy to Chad said in a communique received by TASS on Monday.
Thus, the diplomatic mission commented on a video posted on YouTube on January 9. In it, two Chadian rebels in the uniforms of a colonel and a sergeant, allegedly in the territory of the Central African Republic adjacent to the southern part of the Chadian border, spoke about the allegedly masterminded offensive on N'Djamena from the south in order to overthrow the constitutional order, supposedly with the support of the Russian private military company Wagner.
The embassy pointed out that this video is "part of a broader campaign, launched on the Internet, to discredit the Wagner PMC in the eyes of African governments, creating a significant obstacle to advancing political and business interests of some major players in Africa. It also noted that there are indeed insurgents on the Chadian-Central African border who pose a threat to the Chadian authorities.
"The provocative nature of the statement from the Chadian rebels, aimed at casting a shadow on the successfully developing Russian-Chadian cooperation, is also becoming evident. In this regard, the Embassy states that attempts to introduce elements of mistrust into the political dialogue between Moscow and N'Djamena will be doomed to failure, no matter who they come from," the embassy emphasized.
