Allam Mi said Chad has had to house over 300,000 refugees since the Darfur crisis began and at least 50,000 Chadians have been displaced and hundreds have died. Allam Mi called on the United Nations to take over peacekeeping operations as approved in United Nations Security Council Resolution 1706, and that the deployment of peacekeepers would not violate Sudan's sovereignty.
