Mr. President,
I was most satisfied with the contents of your letter of
February 8. It leads us to think that you share our disquiet
about the growing instabiilty on the border with Sudan.
Thank you for your appreciation of the innumerable
difficulties which my country faces on account of the burden
of refugees from Darfur and the permanent insecurity in this
region.
I am well aware of and very grateful to you for all the
efforts which the United States and the United Nations
Security Council exert for resolving these problems. On the
ground, the situation worsens and our neighbors continue
tirelessly to threaten the life and property of our citizens
and the refugees. This act of war considerably undermines
the integrity and development of my country, which is already
so difficult to put in place and for which we fight now. I
believe that we cannot guarantee peace in this zone without a
more forceful action on the part of our friends, including
the United States.
In reiterating my gratitude for the reaffirmation of your
cooperation and support, I would ask you to accept, Mr.
President, this expression of my very high consideration.
Idriss Deby Itno
His Excellency
Mr. George W. Bush
President of the United States of America
Washington, DC USA
