Brazzaville, Congo, 07/05 - Touched by continued reports of deteriorating humanitarian situation in Darfur, Congolese president, Denis Sassou Nguesso urged the international community to intensify involvement in the crisis to stop it from destabilise neighbouring countries.

"The press reports this morning depicted sad news at the border between Sudan and Chad. It`s a serious situation that calls for the mobilisation of CEEAC, the African Union and the United Nations. I think this situation must be taken seriously," Sassou Nguesso said at a joint press conference with Chadian counterpart, Idriss Deby.

It took me 40 days to reach the Chadian border from my village.
In the daytime I hid with my wife and four children in caves and then at night we walked.
Our village was bombed from the air and then attacked by ground troops.
I am just a farmer - I don’t know why they attacked us.
