A long article in FP 'Our man in Africa', namely Hissne Habr, at one time Chad's President and at the helm in the 'Toyota War' with Libya.

I don't recall this happening, but a "week is a long time in politics":Link:http://foreignpolicy.com/2014/01/24/...FlashPoints%20[Manual]RSbestofprintTwo AWACS surveillance planes, a contingent of F-15s, and tanker aircraft, along with some 600 U.S. support personnel, were deployed to Sudan to assist Habrs counteroffensive.
Note the focus is on Habre's human rights record and his pending prosecution in Senegal in 2015, after fleeing Chad twentytwo years ago.
