Chad Holds French Citizens Who Took 103 Darfur Children
The charity, l’Arche de Zoé, or Zoé’s Ark, a three-year-old French nonprofit organization that aims to help orphans, said it had taken the children from Sudan to neighboring Chad and was planning to fly them to France, where it had lined up host families that had paid nearly $3,500 per child.
The group said the children, age 1 to 9, were orphans from the western Darfur region in Sudan. It said the operation had the support of President Nicolas Sarkozy and his former wife, a claim Mr. Sarkozy’s office denied.
