Who defaced Chad's cave paintings?

Ancient cave paintings at Chad's Ennedi Plateau have been vandalised. Authorities say the rock art, which is thought to be up to 7,000 years old, has been damaged by paint and writing. Chad's culture minister Mahamat Saleh Haroun speaks to Focus on Africa's Victoria Uwonkunda about the UNESCO world heritage site.
