Troops repel rebels
from Chad capital
N’DJAMENA, Chad —
Government troops using
tanks and attack helicopters
repelled a rebel assault on
Chad’s capital Thursday. The
president assured residents
he remained in control and
blamed Sudan, whose Darfur
crisis has spilled over into his
country.
The attack on N’Djamena
demonstrated how little con
trol President Idriss Deby has
outside his capital in a tumul
tuous part of the world where
rebel groups cruise the desert
at will.
Troops were waiting on
the outskirts of the capital,
and within hours, Deby
declared the rebels had been
defeated though few in the
country were assured the
fight for control of Chad was
over.

The next session of parlia
ment was called for Monday
to push past a long-standing
political stalemate over who
should be the next prime
minister. But members of the
dominant Shiite alliance
questioned holding the meet

all top posts.
