#1 If not, then what exactly are French forces doing in Chad? I cannot imagine it is a significant tourist destination.

#2 Darfour relief effort; anyway chad's already propped up by France, who does the airlift in the fight against the rebels. Which is one more reason why the whole "arche de Zoé" debacle is a slap in the face for France, as chad is blackmailing its own supporter, and allows anti-french demonstrations.
