At least five people killed in Chad as thousands demand a return to civilian rule.
Demonstrations turned deadly as thousands protested in Chad against the rule of a transitional military council headed by the son of late President Idriss Deby who was killed last week by rebels. The military-led government said on Wednesday at least five people died in the protests, but a local NGO reported nine fatalities – seven in the capital and two in the south. The Chadian Convention for the Defence of Human Rights said 36 people were also wounded and 12 arrested. The opposition coalition called for the demonstrations despite a ban on protests. Police fired tear gas to disperse protesters in Chad’s capital, N’Djamena, and there were also demonstrations in other parts of the nation.
