Storyline

United Nations Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed visited Adré, a key border crossing between Chad and Sudan, on Friday (30 Aug). Accompanied by the Personal Envoy of the Secretary-General for Sudan, Ramtane Lamamra, and an inter-agency delegation, Mohammed met with Chadian officials, refugees, and host community representatives.

The discussions focused on the complex challenges facing Chad, particularly regional dynamics and risks, highlighting the urgent need for global solidarity. Mohammed emphasized the importance of keeping the Adré border crossing open to facilitate the delivery of aid to millions in Sudan.

During her visit, Mohammed observed the humanitarian corridor operation in Adré and engaged with refugee representatives, women, and community leaders. Reaffirming the UN’s commitment to the region, she called for increased solidarity and resources to support the humanitarian response, urging parties to invest in saving lives and livelihoods. Mohammed also announced a $5 million allocation from the UN Central Emergency Response Fund to support flood recovery efforts.
