too insignificant to make an article--TheFEARgod 09:47, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] no merge

no reason to merge with the wrong war Hmains 04:36, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability

1. small skirmish (there were dozens like that) From HRW source: "According to the secretary general of Adré prefecture, Janjaweed militias have attacked more than fifty border villages in the prefecture since December 18")
2. One source?
3. Alleged attack? Only Chad reported it. No independent confirmation. Could be POV or even just propaganda. Should wiki have such an article?
4. The article can hardly be expanded as sources lacks, and such a stub easily fits in the main article. Better merge than delete. --TheFEARgod (Ч) 13:47, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I'm also deeply unsatisfied with this article, but an article must be kept, moving the center of the events from what is just a modest skirmish to the vast scale of attacks that affecyed the subprefecture of Borota between December 16, 2005, and January 5, 2006. The importance of what happened can hardly be caled non-notable, as it generated the first massive wave of displacement in Chad. It's important also that the area affected was the Dar Sila Department, the most affected area by displacements and the current civil strife.--Aldux 01:10, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
