 BAHAI, Chad (AP) - Tribal leaders are desperate for the deployment of a U.N. peacekeeping force along Chad's border with Sudan to protect refugees and stop increasing spillover from the violence in Darfur.
The U.N. Security Council is considering a mission, with up to 10,000 troops, largely because Sudan's government has resisted efforts to send U.N. peacekeepers to Darfur itself.
But Chad's president is worried about inflaming tensions with Sudan, while U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has warned the Security Council that peacekeepers would face "serious risks" of rebel attacks.
