...sees only a military solution. He used the rebel attack as a pretext to arrest the leaders of Chad's civil opposition. They are alive - for now. On Feb. 4, Paris won the U.N. Security Council's authorization to send weapons to Chad. France is fast becoming a belligerent in Chad's war, and an accomplice to a crackdown on the faint hope of a democratic future...
...Vries showed chief Aruban prosecutor Hans Mos some of the video material beforehand. Apparently acting on these leads, Mos reopened the case last Friday. So far, no arrest has been made, nor has the prosecutor's office given an official statement on the developments. Interviewed in De Vries' show, Mos deemed the taped confessions "convincing," but urged caution in taking the case to court.

...French government officials insist that even before the group's arrest by Chadian police on October 25, they cautioned Zoé's Ark against pursuing certain of their more audacious humanitarian projects in Chad, particularly what appeared to be clandestine adoption arrangements with families back in France. Because of that, it came as little surprise to many observers earlier this month when a French investigating magistrate named several members in the group as defendants in his case for "complicity in the illegal residence of foreign minors in France," "illegally exercising the role as intermediary towards adoption" and "fraud."
