Government sends peace envoys to meet rebel leader

    ABIDJAN
    Chadian President Idriss Deby has sent peace envoys to meet rebel leader Youssouf Togoimi in the northern area of Tibesti, Communications Minister Moussa Dago told IRIN on Monday. The delegation comprises respected parliamentarians and traditional authorities from the Tibesti, the mountainous desert region where Togoimi, a former cabinet minister, began his rebellion in late 1998. "The objective of the mission is to find out what Togoimi wants," Dago said. See separate item titled 'Government sends peace envoys to meet rebel leader'
