N'DJAMENA, Chad (AP) - Chad has declared a state of emergency in three eastern regions where ethnic clashes have left as many as 200 people dead and raised fears that Sudan's Darfur conflict is spilling across the border.
The government said the violence appears to be between Chadians but accused Sudan of instigating the clashes in the Ouaddai, Wadi Fira and Salamat regions, which border the Darfur region.
"By exporting its Darfur conflict to Chad, Sudan wants to weaken Chad by making different Chadian communities fight each other. All this is to prepare the ground for a large-scale war," government spokesman Hourmadji Moussa Doumgor said Monday.
