Clashes between the Chadian army and the MPRD rebel group have killed at least six people in the country's south, both sides said Wednesday. The fighting erupted Tuesday morning in Korbol, in the Moyen-Chari region, leaving three soldiers dead and 10 wounded, the army said in a statement. MPRD leader Luc Beyam Bebha said the rebels had lost three "martyrs" and had two fighters wounded. The group - the Movement for Peace, Reconciliation and Development - was launched in southern Chad in 2003. "The group has a very clear demand: to overthrow the current system," Hoinathy said.
