Chad attributes deadly attack on security agency to opposition

The Chad government reported that numerous individuals were killed in an assault on the National Security Agency headquarters in Chad. “The government said everything is now okay and they have everything under control. ”

The Socialist Party Without Borders (PSF) members were taken into custody and will face legal action.

The attack in the capital city, N’Djamena, happened just a few hours after the announcement that Chad will have a presidential election on May 6th.

The government said that anyone who tries to disrupt the democratic process in the country will be punished.

The Communication Minister, Abderaman Koulamallah, said that the leader of the PSF, Yaya Dillo, was behind the attack on the national security agency. He has not said anything yet.

It’s not sure if Mr. Dillo was arrested, but he posted on Facebook that the military came for him on Wednesday morning. The government also said the PSF was part of a recent “attempt to kill” the president of the Supreme Court.

Mr Dillo said he wasn’t involved in the attack and called it a setup, according to AFP.

Mr Dillo doesn’t like President Mahamat Déby. Déby became president in 2021 after his father was killed by rebels. President Déby said he would make the country run by regular people again, but he took more than two years to do it.

The election is meant to signal the completion of a change in political leadership.

The Patriotic Salvation Movement (MPS) has chosen President Déby as their candidate for the next elections, but he hasn’t said if he will run yet.

Since the transition began, France, which used to have colonies in the area, has been supporting Mr. This has surprised and concerned people both inside and outside the country. France has around 1,000 soldiers in Chad to fight against extremist groups in West Africa.

The opposition believes the electoral commission is not fair, and they are worried that the Déby family will continue to stay in power for a long time.
