Chad's Defence Minister announces that the country is hosting "320 soldiers who are already in our territory" who have crossed the border from Sudan, amidst violent civil unrest. "We are in the process of welcoming them and taking all the necessary measures to ensure that they are well housed" he adds. It is the fifth day of fighting between the forces of the two generals who shared power in Khartoum, which has killed more than 270 civilians so far. SOUNDBITE
