Chadian Rebel Leader Expected to Go Home
From Reuters
LIBREVILLE, Gabon —
Chadian rebel leader and former President Goukouni Oueddei is expected to fly home soon following his declaration Thursday that he now recognizes Chad’s current leader, Hissen Habre, as the legitimate head of state, Gabonese Foreign Ministry sources said.
Goukouni, who was ousted by Habre from the presidency in 1982, said that while he recognizes his former archenemy as Chad’s leader, he urged him to make concessions to former rebels so they can rally to the N’Djamena government without being humiliated.
