The 15 Austrian soldiers who were brought to the African country of Chad, have to hide in the cellar of the Hotel Kempinski, in the capital called N’Djamena.
This reports Austrias biggest newspaper “Kronen Zeitung” in todays issue.
The rebels have invaded the capital, and conducted fierce battles with the army of the government.
After this weekend it seems the army of the government has won the battle in the capital. The rebels are on the run and left the city.
The Austrian parties of the opposition still demand a retreat of the Austrian soldiers. The minister of defence Norbert Darabos declines: “Austria has to stay in Chad”.
