CHAD

Mr Sarkozy has claimed France's right to interfvene in Chad when he deems this necessary. France has a long-standing tendency to support dictatorships in Afica. Not so surprising when one remembers that many of those dictators came to power with the support of France. Chad is one of these cases.The present Chadian government headed by mr Idriss Deby Itno is a usurper governement, illegal through a coup against the lawfully elected president Yorongar in 2001. Sarkozy supports the present dictator there. Not in the interest of Chad. France does not give a hoot about the interests of African nations. All that counts are the interests of France. And the spineless European leaders of course will sing to Sarkozy's tune.
