At least two people were killed Tuesday during demonstrations against Chad’s new junta headed by the son of veteran ruler Idriss Deby Itno following his shock battlefield death.
The protesters defied a ban and rallied in the capital N’Djamena and in the south of the semi-desert country where civilian rule was suspended following Deby’s death.
Police were deployed in N’Djamena to break up the planned demonstrations against the so-called Transitional Military Council (TMC) called by the opposition and civil society groups.
Deby’s 37-year-old son Mahamat now leads the council, and has pledged to hold elections in 18 months.
