Chadians Stand Firm as Talks Considered with Khadafy
Chadian President Hissene Habre said he is willing to hold direct negotiations with Libyan leader Muammar Khadafy to end the war, excluding rebel head Goukouni Oueddei. Habre said Libya occupies half of Chad and noted Libyan-backed rebels speak for only mercenary elements. France maintains 700 paratroopers in a training role but would defend Chad if attacked. Habre asked Paris to press for direct talks with France's Penne.
