Chad is seeking funds from the Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CEMAC) to repair parts of the capital, N'djamena, which were destroyed in fighting that pitted government troops against invading rebel forces in early February, the country's minister of state for agriculture, Haroun Kabadi, said.
"Calm has returned to N'djamena. However, we saw a lot of destruction in the city.

"It is in this context that we have come to meet President Sassou Nguesso so that CEMAC can make its contribution to the rehabilitation work that we have undertaken," he added.

Congo and Libya have been nominated by the African Union to mediate between the Chadian government and the rebels. Both countries have sent military observers to Chad.
