Fresh fighting has broken out between government and rebel forces in Chad's capital N'Djamena, reports say.
Heavy weapons fire was heard near the palace where President Idriss Deby is said to be holding out.
Rebels seized large parts of the city on Saturday, but military action subsided overnight as both sides claimed to be in control.
More than 500 French and other foreign citizens have been evacuated to the Gabonese capital, Libreville.
The arriving evacuees appeared "harassed but happy", an AFP news agency journalist in Libreville said.
