 N'DJAMENA, Chad (AP) - Chad's government is voicing opposition to a U.N. plan to deploy troops along its border with Sudan to protect tens of thousands of people who have sought refuge there from the conflict in neighboring Darfur.
The U.N. Security Council is considering sending up to 10,000 troops to Chad, largely because Sudan's government has resisted efforts to send U.N. peacekeepers to the Darfur region itself.
The goal of the mission would be to protect refugees and aid workers, and monitor borders to reduce cross-border attacks.
