NGOs Looted after Rebel Attack in Eastern Chad

Incident | NGO Security
Looting has been widespread in the eastern Chadian
town of Goz Beida after the town
was attacked and seized by rebels over the
weekend. Armed men looted several NGO compounds
while other compounds were struck by small arms
fire. It also appears that one NGO compound
burned after fuel supplies caught fire.
EUFOR, deployed to protect Sudanese and Chadian refugees, has reported that it has been providing armed escorts for aid workers seeking shelter in the nearby EUFOR camp.
It is likely that the government will attempt to retake the town over the next couple of days. Any government counter attack will likely be accompanied by air strikes. NGOs should plan accordingly.

Some 300,000 Sudanese
refugees who have fled the Darfur conflict live in
camps in Eastern Chad. 187,000 Chadians displaced by
fighting in Chad have also sought sanctuary in IDP
camps in the area.
