Chad’s government has denied a report from the French embassy that rebel forces are advancing on the capital N’Djamena. In a statement yesterday, officials said there was no column of rebels 400km from the capital. They reassured the population that N’Djamena is in no danger.  Chad’s government has also deployed troops around the capital.
Earlier yesterday, the French embassy in Chad warned that a rebel column was moving towards the capital on the main highway. Rebels attacked and briefly held the eastern city of Abeche on Saturday, but government forces reclaimed the city yesterday.
  France’s ambassador to Rwanda has left the country following the government’s decision to cut its ties with France. Officials say French Ambassador Dominique Decherf boarded the flight to Europe Saturday. Other French diplomats are expected to leave the country within days. The move was triggered by a French judge’s decision to issue international arrest warrants for top Rwandan officials in connection with Rwanda’s 1994 genocide. France’s Foreign Ministry said it regrets Rwanda’s decision.
