"The time has passed when France could pick and choose the governments in these countries, change them or maintain them as it wished," said Foreign Minister Roland Dumas. Foreign Legionnaires had grandstand seats when Idriss Deby's French development minister, Jacques Pelletier. As recently as June, France helped finance Habre's to the presidency. Billed as Chad's first free elections, only the official party and independent candidates were allowed to run. But during that same month, President Francois Mitterrand spelled out France's new attitude summit. He at a Franco-Africa- n linked French aid to efforts at democratization and stressed that his country's military muscle was not at the disposal of dictators seeking to settle scores with domestic rivals.
