| | Human Rights Watch: Africa : Chad |
 | | Nearly fifteen years after the fall of Chad’s brutal Cold War dictator, Hissène Habré, dozens of his henchmen still hold positions of power in the West African country, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today. |
 | | One of Chad’s “most feared torturers,” was recalled this week from the United Nations Operation in Côte d’Ivoire (ONUCI) after a complaint to the UN by Human Rights Watch, said Reed Brody, the group’s special counsel. |
 | | Militia leaders and members have been supplied with arms, communications equipment, salaries and uniforms by government officials and have participated in joint ground attacks on civilians with government troops, often with aerial bombing and reconnaissance support from government aircraft. |
