N'DJAMENA, CHAD -- Often likened to a desert fox, Chadian President Idriss Deby is proving true to form, refusing to be smoked out of his hole despite Army desertions, unrest within his own clan, and increasingly daring rebel attacks.

But observers say the May 3 polls are unlikely to turn the page on troubles that threaten to suck in the whole central African region.
