Surprise, Chad Pissed At Sudan

Surprise? This shouldn’t be. We all knew this was going on now:

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.

It would become a horrendous situation if the beef between Sudan and Chad intensified big time. Darfurians already have enough of a headache (an understatement).
