Major fighting in Eastern Chad

I know next to nothing about the conflict, other than it's a tribal/Islamic bleed over from Sudan, but we're talking big numbers here in a multisided conflict.
United Nations sources say they are receiving reports that the dead and wounded already number in the thousands.

  • Yeah, but is there oil to be protected?

  • I'm not sure. It's adjacent to Darfur (from where it's spilling over,) and I know there's Chinese oil development in southern Sudan.

    I know you're being snarky, but I think there might be to some lesser extent.
