Coalition for Darfur: "Chad government troops reinforced the capital N'Djamena on Wednesday and embassies took security precautions in response to reports that rebels were moving closer to the city, residents and diplomats said.

Security sources, who asked not to be named, said a French military aircraft on a surveillance flight had spotted a rebel column at Massenya, 160 km (100 miles) southeast of the capital of the landlocked central African oil producer."
