Darfur Refugees Face Danger in Chad

Associated Press correspondent Alfred de Montesquiou reports on recent violence against refugees from Darfur in Chad. He writes:

At least 230,000 ethnic Africans have fled Darfur to take refuge in camps in neighboring Chad -- and their numbers are growing. But the refugees crowded into 12 camps are facing increased tensions with Chadians in a competition for scarce resources in the large, barren border region.

The friction comes despite the fact that both the refugees and the Chadians belong to tribes that straddle the border.
