The Chad government has urged citizens to maintain their regular activities following a violent attack on intelligence services in N'Djamena on the night of February 27 to 28, 2024. Amidst the unrest, the government is seeking to reassure the public, encouraging them to proceed with their daily lives.
In response to the attack, whose perpetrators remain unidentified, a nationwide search has been initiated, led by transitional leader Mahamat Idriss Déby. The violence is reportedly connected to the recent arrest of a key figure from the opposition party, Socialist Party Without Borders (PSF), led by Yaya Dillo Dérou.
The political landscape in Chad is currently unsettled, with reports of the arrest of the president's uncle, Saleh Déby, and the unconfirmed death of opposition leader Yaya Dillo. These incidents have intensified the existing tensions since late 2023.
After a brief period of calm, discord has reignited under Déby's transitional government. Despite earlier promises to hand over power to civilians, a recent constitutional change now allows Déby to contest in the upcoming presidential election on May 6, raising concerns and complicating the country's political environment.
