I provided details of Chad previously because it and Sudan were confused with Somolia AND because this is another war the George Jr administration was talking about getting us into - to drag NATO into it. There is nothing 'black or white' (simple) about this growing problem. Recent story:

After Battle in Capital, Chad Threatens to Expel Sudanese
With the unrest in Sudan's Darfur region spreading into neighboring countries, Chad broke off relations with Sudan on Friday and threatened to oust 200,000 Sudanese refugees after staving off a rebel incursion into this sand-strewn capital.

The embattled government of President Idriss Déby of Chad described the rebels as little more than mercenaries acting on behalf of Sudan. Eager to show it has defeated them, his government paraded several hundred captured fighters, some of whom appeared to be children, in a central square. The corpses of some fallen rebels and an array of seized armaments were also on display.
