Since France's only naturally occuring oil is sebum (and it's got that going gushers), it's now attacking for poor little oily Chad:
"We have just learned that since this morning, in eastern Chad, French army aircraft have been carrying out a military intervention," the representative in France for the United Front for Change (FUC), former Chadian foreign minister Laona Gong, said.
"We deplore the numerous civilian victims of the French bombings in the towns of Adre and Moudeina", he said, without giving a precise number of casualties.
First the Ivory Coast and now Chad. If you need me, I'll be with that big crowd of people demonstrating over at the French consulate. No blood for neither cocoa nor oil!

France has a long history of military intervention in Chad. There is also more than this going on in Chad, so keep an eye out.
