 N'DJAMENA, Chad (AP) - Thousands rallied Saturday in Chad's capital to support the president following a defeated rebel attack, while the oil minister threatened to shut down the country's oil pipeline unless the government is compensated for frozen oil revenues.
President Idriss Deby's government appears desperate to attract international attention to solve Chad's political, economic and security problems.
Oil Minister Mahmat Hassan Nasser told The Associated Press in an interview Saturday that the pipeline would be shut down unless the international community ensured Chad received its oil royalties by midday Tuesday.
