EU force chief warns Chad, CAR rebels not to interfere

BRUSSELS (AFP) — The commander of the EU's new peacekeeping mission to Chad and the Central African Republic warned rebel groups Tuesday not to interfere with its efforts to protect refugees from strife-torn Darfur.

"We have a very clear mission. If the rebels are not interfering with our mission, it is no business of ours," Irish General Pat Nash told reporters in Brussels. "That is where we take action, if they interfere with our mission."
