Chad accused Sudan of bombing two Chadian villages on the border with Sudan. Sudan denied the accusation. Who knows what happened. What is important is that Chad has now accused Sudan of breaking the "non-aggression pact" signed in February. That agreement included promises by Chad and Sudan to prevent rebel groups from operating in their territories (ie, Sudanese rebel groups operating in Chad, and Chadian rebels operating in Sudan).
Earlier this year, Waxploitation released a CD titled Genocide in Sudan with featured artists including Gorillaz, System of a Down, Jurassic 5, Danger Mouse & Murs, Yoko Ono, Thievery Corporation and Jill Scott to name a few. Proceeds from the sales of CD and the first Sudan auction raised over $10,000 which was donated towards relief efforts in Sudan and Chad.

In Oct., 2006, Chad again accused Sudan of backing a Chadian rebel incursion, and said Sudan’s air force had bombed several E Chadian towns. In early 2007 there was fighting between Chadian and Sudanese forces after Chad’s military pursued rebels into Sudanese territory.
