Chad’s prime minister rejects rebel ceasefire
A rebel alliance which seized large parts of the capital Ndjamena at the weekend responded to a non-binding UN Security Council statement opening the way to foreign military intervention by agreeing to a ceasefire.
“Why a ceasefire? They [the rebels] don’t exist any more. With whom would we sign a ceasefire?... We’ve got them under control,” said Mr Coumakoye.
