WASHINGTON (AP) - The United States has abandoned its embassy in Chad, evacuating all but four diplomats who are now stationed at the N'Djamena airport amid heavy fighting between government forces and rebels in the capital.

The downtown embassy, which was hit by indirect fire during weekend clashes, is now vacant and unprotected and the State Department on Monday warned the rebels not to enter the compound, which remains sovereign U.S. territory.

Sad indeed. There is a guy at Agonist.org who has very good articles on the situation there and he gives a good explanation of the politics behind how the situation developed and gives good insight into the possible future consequences.

Here are some excerpts, but well worth to read the whole article:


"While events in Chad may sound, to an American audience, like another repetition of the "endless coups and wars" that engulf Africa, I would like to make two points to put the rebellion into a larger context. First, the situation in Chad flows out of the destabilized regional situation largely caused by Sudan. Secondly, the situation embodies the disturbing consequences of an international system paralyzed by indecision and haunted by the specter of neo-colonialism."

***

"The Sudanese government isn't the only group bombing Darfur. Sudan has accused its neighbor, Chad, of bombing rebels in Darfur itself. In the last few weeks, Chad has stepped up its rhetoric against Sudan, threatening to cross the border and pursue anti-Chad rebels who hide in Sudanese territory. With both sides lashing out, serious military conflict looks increasingly likely. If that happens, the people of Darfur will be caught in the middle once again - this time in an international war."

***

"Whatever comes out of this weekend's fighting in N'Djamena, it seems to me, will alter the dynamics of the situation regionally and even internationally. If Deby's troops fight off the rebels, he may seek retaliation against their (perceived) Sudanese backers, and continue increasing Chad's bombing campaigns inside Sudan. If the rebels win, Sudan may well be able to extend its influence deeper into its neighbor, hampering international peacekeeping efforts even further."
