Chad: Government threatens to strike at rebels inside Sudan

Chadian President Idriss Déby Itno on Saturday threatened to pursue and strike Chadian rebels inside neighbouring Sudan and repeated charges that Khartoum was trying to destabilise his country. Déby claimed his forces had already driven out the rebels from Chad and said: "We're going to destroy them in their nest inside Sudan. "We're going to make them eat dust inside Sudan," he added at a support rally in Ndjamena.
