The security situation remained precarious throughout the year, despite the efforts of the EU stabilisation force (EUFOR) and a UN mission to train Chadian police and army personnel (‘Mission des Nations Unies en République Centrafricaine et au Tchad’, MINURCAT). Relations with Sudan remained strained, with a major attack by Chadian rebels supported by Sudan on the capital N'Djaména on 1 February and an attack by Sudanese rebels of the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) on Omdurman with alleged support of Chad on 10 May. Economic growth slowed, despite higher oil prices. Relations with the World Bank were severed following Chad's non-compliance with conditions regarding the spending of oil revenues and the contract was ended after Chad paid back the loan.
