 The Chadian government has said that it is in a "state of belligerence" with neighbouring Sudan, which it blames for an attack on a border town last weekend.
| That means they're at war... |
| That's not good enough for the liberal left, since the Chadians actually didn't declare war ... |
| If a state of belligerence exists, that implies they did. But they don't have UN permission, so it prob'ly doesn't count. |
| Chad's declaration is also awaiting certification from the editorial boards at the New York Times and the Grauniad... |
Hourmadji Moussa Doumgor, a government spokesman, told reporters on Friday: "Chad is today in a state of belligerence with Sudan. The friends of Chad must support it by all means possible in this ordeal."
| We should be in on that, but I'm sure the Donks would kill any move toward supporting them... |
| ... cheez, you want someone to get hurt? |
The comments came a day after Idriss Deby, the president of Chad, accused his Sudanese counterpart of plotting to destabilise his country, blaming Khartoum for a rebel attack on the frontier town of Adre. The president made the accusation during a visit to the town to decorate troops who killed about 100 rebels while repelling the attack by forces of the Rally for Democracy and Liberty. Doumgor said: "The government of Chad believes that one must not stop at simple condemnations of principle but that the enemy of Chad must be pointed out ... [Sudanese] president Omar Hassan Ahmed el Bashir."
