N'DJAMENA, Feb 2 (Reuters) - Chadian rebels surrounded the presidential palace in N'Djamena on Saturday after fighting their way into the capital, and France began evacuating French and foreign nationals.
President Idriss Deby remained inside the palace, one of his ministers said. A spokesman for the rebels said they would allow him to be evacuated by the French government but it was not clear what he planned to do.
