The Union forces of resistance (UFR), which includes the main rebel factions have denounced the agreement between Chad and the UN on the UN Mission to Central Africa and Chad, worrying about the refugees’ security. The UN and Chad have finally reached an agreement on Friday that extends the mandate of MINURCAT until October at least. Its workforce will be reduced to 1,900 men and the mission will be redefined. The Chadian government shows little seriousness to the protection of the refugees and displaced Chadians. Decisions have been taken without consultation and in the most total improvisation.
