Soldiers assault BBC journo

2006-04-15 17:57

N'Djamena - A Chadian journalist working for the BBC was beaten up by Chad's soldiers on Saturday.

The international federation for human rights (FIDH) said the soldiers took the journalist to an "unknown destination".

Dobian Assingar, vice-president of the FIDH, said: "Rene Djillah was doing a report in the Moursal district in the south of the capital, when soldiers arrived in a truck, took him and beat him up.

"They then took him to an unknown destination.

"We have had no news of him since this morning."

Djillah is a journalist for national Chad radio and has been a correspondent for the BBC for several years.

Troops loyal to Chadian President Idriss Deby Itno were patrolling the streets of N'Djamena on Saturday morning, two days after they pushed back an offensive by a coalition of rebels from the United Front for Change (FUC).

Ridwaan Moola says... Get your facts straight boet...where the is significant population of Muslims and Islamic law prevails holds the least amount of crime in the world... Unfortunately those who lack the belief in God or have a lack of morals tend to not consider the consequences of their actions ... Further more,study the rules of Islam before branding your theory, a Muslim should not harm anyone!! Radical groups arise in every sect of life,it doesn't make it right and neither does it mean everyone in that race practices upon that, why don't you talk about the recent white gunmen who just for the fun of it started shooting down innocent people... Make a claim of religion there... Or are they atheist?? Stop using your narrow minded brain and do some intelligent research !! Read the article...
