The war in Libya looks to be moving into a new strategic phase as the United States deploys unmanned Predator drones in the country and EU officials discuss a possible EUFOR ground troop deployment to aid humanitarian operations.
In this week's edition of The Week in Africa: the provisional release of Niger journalist Moussa Kaka after more than a year in prison, the Angolagate scandal and the limits of the Eufor mission in Chad.
The European Union Force (Eufor) arrived in eastern Chad in March 2008 to protect civilians, refugees from Darfur and displaced people. But it is powerless to address some of the most pressing problems of the region.
For the first time since their deployment in Chad, EUFOR soldiers have had to use force. Caught between rebels and the regular army, their situation remains uncomfortable since the rebel offensive in eastern Chad. (Report: A.Chabod, B. Saison)
