- On 18th February IRIN reported that while aid officials say they do not expect the government's announcement of a state of emergency last week to impact on their operations they are concerned about rising security threats.
- IRIN also reported that N'djamena's streets have been calm in recent days. Most shops have reopened and traffic flows as usual, though the number of soldiers in the streets has increased.
- On 18th February Reuters reported that the European Union called on Chad's warring government and rebels to negotiate a peace deal, as relief agencies said on Monday a new refugee crisis was developing in the east where EU troops are being deployed.
- Reuters also reported that relief organisations, many of whom have evacuated workers after a rebel assault on the Chadian capital N'Djamena two weeks ago, said the fresh influx of refugees is stretching aid resources and risked causing a major new humanitarian emergency.
