Renewed Rebel Offensive in Chad: An Analysis
Only four months after Chadian rebels attacked and briefly occupied the capital city of N’Djamena, hostilities renewed in the east of Chad on June 11th. Over a one-week period the National Alliance (NA) rebellion, a conglomeration of three rebel groups, quickly captured towns of strategic importance along the route to the capital. The rapid progress of the rebel armies led to a tense environment in N’Djamena, where U.N. and Western forces were contemplating evacuation.
