On 25 October 2007, the Chadian government intercepted an attempt by the French charity organisation L’Arche de Zoé to fly 103 Chadian children to France under false pretences. The organisation claimed the children were orphans from Darfur in need of medical care – going so far as to put fake bandages on them. However, Chadian authorities investigated the case and found that the organisation had no solid reason for taking them, since most of the children were Chadian and had living relatives.
