The Darfur conflict and the chaos in the Central African Republic (CAR) continued to spill over into Chad, leading to an increase in the number of refuges and IDPs. Despite several agreements between Sudan and Chad and between the government of Chad and the armed opposition within the country, fighting continued and the security situation deteriorated, hampering relief efforts for the Darfurian and CAR refugees and Chadian IDPs. Economic growth slowed down and remained largely dependent on revenues from oil and agriculture. On the international front, the deployment of the joint peacekeeping mission planned by both the UN and the EU suffered delays because of Chad's initial refusal and EU member states' hesitation in allocating troops and equipment. Relations with France became strained at the end of the year because of the ‘Arche de Zoé’ affair, in which a French NGO allegedly tried to abduct 103 children.
