EU troops head for Chad

The European Union agreed to a deal this week that will see a joint United Nations-EU force of up to 3 000 personnel deployed to eastern Chad to manage the continuing insecurity along the border with Darfur.

France will provide most of the soldiers for the EU-led military component, the UN will provide personnel to act as police. Observers in N'Djamena believe Deby accepted the force after agreeing finally with the French that they would take charge of the EU and UN military deployment.
