Paris : Chadian President Idriss Deby issued a solemn call on Thursday for the planned European force to quickly take up positions in Chad.
The force has delayed deployment because of a rebel attack on the Chadian capital, N’Djamena, and ensuing violence. However, Deby has said he is in full control of the situation.
He told France’s Europe-1 radio that had the force already been deployed it would have lightened the load, allowing him to remove troops at the border protecting refugees.
