#1 Tine is an ethnic Zaghawa town and the center of major battles in 1990-91 when the Sudanese helped bring Idriss Deby, a Zaghawa, to power in Chad. They are an ethnicity that does not frighten easy, and if they are now in a battle with Khartoum I am sure most Zaghawa recall that it took thirty years of fighting in one war and another to bring Deby to power. This is going to cost Khartoum a lot of money before it's over, and it may not be over for a long long time.
