The raid came two days before a highly controversial, scheduled presidential election in which current Chadian President Idriss Déby was expected to win another five-year term in office.

Afterwards they were seen heading southeast towards Koukou and the border. Initial reports show four dead and six wounded by bullets. They have been brought to the health centre at Goz Amer refugee camp. We are being told that they were Janjaweed. The 'Janjaweed' seem to be taking advantage of huge security vacuums on the Chad-Sudan border." Those who escaped the raid were treated by Italian doctors at Goz Amer refugee camp, located a few miles from Dalola where 17,000 Sudanese Fur refugees are currently living.
