LIttle by little the rumors of war have spread. First Sudan fought it's own internal war in Darfur, still on going. Then Chad faced rebels inside the country. Then Sudanese forces appeared to combine forces with Chadian rebels. Then Chadian forces with Sudanese rebels.
This is a powder keg, and not all that far from Kenya as well.
Darfur rebels say they fighting Sudan troops in Chad
Rebels from Sudan's Darfur region said on Tuesday that their fighters were
engaged in Chad, but they were fighting Sudanese army forces who were backing
rebels trying to oust Chadian President Idriss Deby.
"Some troops of JEM (Justice and Equality Movement) are there in eastern
Chad because troops of the government of Sudan are also there and attacked
Adre," JEM commander Abdel Aziz el-Nur Ashr told Reuters.
The Chad army earlier said it repulsed an attack by Sudanese forces and
rebels on Adre, a frontier town on the Chad-Sudan border, on Sunday. Chad says Sudan is behind the latest assault on Deby's rule because it does not
want a European Union force to deploy a peacekeeping force in eastern Chad to
protect some 240,000 Darfuri refugees and 180,000 Chadians driven from their
homes. |
