Chad rebels declare war on French, foreign forces
None
Chadian anti-government rebels on Friday declared a "state of war" against French military forces in Chad and against any other foreign soldiers who might intervene in the landlocked African state.
The rebel Union of Forces for Democracy and Development (UFDD) made the statement as a largely French European Union peacekeeping force was preparing to deploy in eastern Chad in coming weeks to protect civilian refugees and aid workers. (Reuters)
