France deploys jets as paratroopers back Ha re regime in Chad
French air force jets roared into Ndjamena to back President Hissein Habre’s forces amid rebel advances. Six Jaguar strike aircraft and four Mirage fighters secured the airport while two Jaguars moved to the Central African Republic. A French spokesman said four Mirages and four Jaguars remain in Chad to protect troops, with air cover uncertain for Habre against Libyan-backed rebels led by Goukouni Oueddei. France has moved over 1,000 troops and completed airlift to block rebel advances. Estimates place 2,000 to 3,000 French troops in Chad, including 160 from the Foreign Legion, with possible reinforcements.
