Chad President Idriss Deby: The West’s ally in the Sahel region?
Al Jazeera
Deby’s death cut his 30-year political career short and will likely throw Chadian politics into disarray.
Idriss Deby, who was on course for a sixth term as Chad’s president before he died from injuries sustained in battle, had carved out a reputation as the West’s stalwart ally in the Sahel – despite accusations of authoritarianism. The 68-year-old son of a herder would have been one of the longest-serving leaders in the world, after provisional results showed him winning re-election this week. But his shock death cut his 30-year political career short and will likely throw Chadian politics into disarray.
