Idriss Déby, who ruled Chad for thirty years, was reported to have been killed on the battlefield while fighting rebels near the capital of Ndjamena. His death came as a shock to many, as he was a prominent figure in Chadian politics and a key ally in the fight against terrorism in the region. Déby's leadership was marked by periods of instability and allegations of human rights abuses, but he was also credited with maintaining a semblance of peace and security in the country. Following Déby's death, his son, Mahamat Déby Itno, was named interim president, sparking concerns about a potential power struggle and further instability in the country. The circumstances surrounding Déby's death remain unclear, with conflicting reports about how he was killed. The situation in Chad remains fluid, with the government imposing a curfew and closing its borders in response to the unrest. As Chad grapples with the loss of its longtime leader, the country faces an uncertain future. The international community is closely monitoring the situation, with many expressing concerns about the potential for further violence and instability in the region. #IdrissDéby #Chad #Ndjamena #Rebels #PoliticalUnrest
