2) France is (was) present in Chad to counter Khadaffis territorial claims and aggression

3) France's presence secures the EUFOR intervention to protect the Darfur refugees from Janjaweed incursions.
The operation is under UN mandate.

4) France and other countries got JUST NOW a UN mandate to intervene to protect civilians and the legally elected power.
That's why the interventions were limited so far to self-defense and to hold the airport to secure evacuations.
