| Not much sympathy for those NGOs types, but this is yet an another example of an african dictator feeling empowered enough to bully his supposed protector (chad is propped up by the french military), this time about the upcoming darfur force, by literally taking some hostages as bargaining chips; those folks were fools, but they acted in plain sight of both the chadian and french gvts, and all this mess is a pretext to bully France; note that in the "conservative" sarkozy gvt, you've got an african-french minister who use this to loudly claim that "daddy's africa is no more", that is turning this hostage taking into a denunciation of colonialism. |
