ABECHE, Chad, Nov 1 (Reuters) - Chadian President Idriss Deby said on Thursday he hoped two French journalists and several Spanish flight attendants detained over an attempt to fly African children to Europe would soon be released.

"I hope for my part that the Chadian justice system can quickly shed light on this and that the journalists and also the (Spanish) hostesses will be freed. But I can't force the hand of Chadian justice, there is a procedure," Deby told reporters in the eastern town of Abeche.

Children play outside a school building being used as a refugee camp at Nandigram village, about 170 km (105 miles) southwest of the eastern Indian city of Kolkata, November 21, 2007. When the communist government of West Bengal state backed down on seizing their land for an industrial complex, it was seen as a victory for poor farmers opposing the unstoppable juggernaut that the Asian giant's economy appears to be. But now, the usually bustling mud roads running through dozens of villages in Nandigram in eastern India are deserted and the area dotted with red communist flags, emblems of a government that had wanted this fertile land for a chemicals complex..
