Tuesday, June 17, 2008 by Melonhead99 you may have seen me say in the past, whenever Bush meets Sarkozy, something starts happening around the Sudan or Somalia type area, from French taking over US Naval patrols, to France sending troops to Chad, to terrorist attacks in the Sudanese capital, now just looked at the news, couple of days since Bush met Sarkozy and now this

The Chadian government has accused Sudan’s army of attacking a town on their border after days of rebel raids. Communications Minister Mahamat Hissene told the BBC that the garrison town of Ade had been attacked by ground troops supported by helicopters. Mr Hissene said the fighting was continuing and confirmed a rebel raid on the smaller town of Am Zoer. Last month, Sudan accused Chad of helping a Darfur rebel group attack a city just outside the Sudanese capital. Chad denied the allegation but the UN says Sudan and Chad have been fighting a proxy war through each other’s rebel groups. The two countries have signed numerous peace deals but these have never held. In February, Chadian rebels reached President Idris Deby’s palace before being repelled by government forces.
In recent days, the rebels have attacked several towns in the east, briefly occupied them, and then moved on.
no idea if all this means anything, but I do wonder? |
