The conflict in the Darfur region of Sudan has carried over into neighboring Chad yet again. A Chadian government official stated that "more than 200 vehicles with armed elements attacked a defence and security forces position" this morning. The attackers allegedly came from Sudan, but there has been no independent confirmation of this yet. In light of the ongoing conflict, a force of 11,000 has been approved by the UN to protect the border, but Chad wants the soldiers to perform police duties only.
