However the Assistant to the President of the Republic, Nafi Ali Nafi, said that those involved in the smuggling of the children are treaders and those attempting to exploit the Darfur crisis.
"The government will take this matter seriously and we are expecting the government of France to take position on this issue," said Nafi.
France had denied the involvement of its President Nicolas Sarkozy in attempting to transport the children.
The Chadian President Idriss Deby said that his government will strongly punish anybody found involved in the act.
