France has up to now been backing the wrong horse. ... France will not be able to stop us from overthrowing the Deby regime.

We are going to do something, you will see.

There will be fighting as long as Mr. Deby persists in his intransigence.

These elections will fail by themselves. Political parties inside the country won't attend this farce. Chad's citizens, with the current loaded environment, won't be going out to vote, even just to say no to Deby.

If Sudan supports us as people say, I do not see what's bad about that.

If France thinks that by propping up Deby against the will of an entire people, it will be able to safeguard its interests (in Chad), it's making a mistake.
