Violent clashes in Chad amid protests against junta

Violent clashes have erupted in Chad between police and protestors in the capital N’Djamena.

Reports say there have been a number of fatalities, and that dozens of people have been injured.

The demonstrations are against Chad’s transitional military government, with protestors calling for a return to civilian rule.

Police used gunfire and tear gas to disperse the protestors and some parts of the city have been cordoned off.

Angry protesters attacked the party headquarters of the recently appointed Prime Minister Saleh Kebzabo in the capital, pro-government news website Alwihda reported.

It said the protesters set fire to the main entrance of the premises.
