According to the official representative of the Front pour la restauration de l'unité et de la démocratie (FRUD) in France, no members of the FRUD, including Issa and Afars, who are close to the government would have problems with the authorities even though they have family members in the FRUD faction still opposes to the régime (13 Dec. 1999). Members of the FRUD who have family members in the FRUD faction still opposed to the régime and who are opposed to the government would have difficulties. There are members of the FRUD who are not involved in violent operations against the security forces but still remain opposed to the régime. Whether a member of the FRUD has family members in the faction conducting military operations is not relevant to the treatment received from the government; whether a person is actively opposed to the régime is the important element.
