‘Opposition takes cash from foreigners’

N’DJAMENA: Chadian National Reconciliation and Dialogue Minister Acheikh Ibn Oumar has accused the armed opposition group Front for Change and Concord in Chad (Fact) of being sponsored by foreign powers.

According to the minister, who himself used to be an opposition leader, the difference between Fact and Chad’s other armed groups is that the former was formed outside the country.

“It was formed abroad with significant and unidentified foreign support. They have a large number of equipment and weapons that are being used on the battlefield for the first time. They are also very experienced in using those weapons.” |
