A report by Jérôme Tubiana for the Small Arms Survey, “The Chad-Sudan Proxy War and the “Darfurization” of Chad: Myths and Reality,” provides excellent analysis of the Chadian conflict. It is a fine succinct run down of the domestic crisis in Chad and the interstate war by proxy between Chad and Sudan, including a compendium of the different armed groups and a useful explanation of the meaning of “Janjawid” in Chad. Its key point is that the Chadian war should not simply be analyzed as a spillover from Darfur, and that the European Union military mission to Chad cannot expect to succeed without a political process leading towards peace in Chad.
