Chadian authorities charged nine French nationals on Tuesday with abduction and fraud after they were detained trying to fly 103 African children to Europe to live with families, Chad’s government said. A Chadian prosecutor said the French faced five to 20 years of hard labour if convicted in the landlocked African country.
