Deby's government, however, claimed its troops had retaken the town of Mongo, 250 miles east of N'djamena after a rebel raid, reports the BBC. The rebels led by the United Front for Change have been carrying on a campaign for the past six months, attracting a large number of deserting army officers. Some of the raids reportedly have come from bases in the war-torn Darfur region of Sudan. United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan is "deeply concerned" by the fighting in eastern Chad, his spokesman told the BBC. Deby, who seized power in 1990, is seeking re-election in May but the main opposition parties have decided to boycott the voting. © Copyright 2006 United Press International, Inc.
