The denouncing of rebel attacks in chad by the French government last week, on the grounds that the Chadian government was legitimately elected, brings into sharp focus the way that irresponsible leadership impacts on Peace.
The Chadian government seems not to have fulfilled its promises to the man, woman and child on the streets, to provide the basic amenities that would make their lives worth living.
This has clearly led to the people applauding rebel attacks on the infrastructure of their government, even if these rebels do not neccessarily guarantee unity, prosperity and ultimately, peace.
The current situation is a recipe for the perpetuation of conflict in Chad, and for that matter any other country in the same predicament.
Perhaps Western governments should spend time visibly encouraging the governments of countries where they have interests, to provide for the needs of their people.
