The European Union in Chad

Bringing stability to an African troublezone
through development and security.
The sight of tidal waves of villagers forced from their homes in the Democratic Republic of Congo raises once again the spectre of human misery in Africa. Tens of thousands of people: brutalised and on the move, unsure where they will end up.

The massacres in Rwanda in the 1990s and in Darfur ten years later are still fresh in the minds of Africans and of those in wealthier countries able to help them avoid a repetition.

This is precisely what the European Union is doing in eastern Chad. Helping to prevent a violent flare-up in a volatile desert zone which shares a border with Darfur. Through direct humanitarian, development and security assistance.
