Chad
David Buchbinder (of Human Rights Watch) and I arrived in NDjamena last night. We spent the day interviewing two rebel commanders, Abdul Rahim and Mohammed Adam Savi (now retired) and Adam Ali Shogar for our Darfur Archive project. We all met at the home of Suleiman Jamous --it was great to see him and he translated for us but put off being interviewed and then we lost the sunlight. Hopefully we'll meet up with him in the east .We leave at 6am tomorrow for the flight to Abece. Will be there for 2 days then on to Goz Beida and Koukou.
People here express anxiety about what will happen next. There is a lot of rebel activity along the border and across, in Darfur.
