Summary
In July 2010, ousted Sudanese President Omar-al Bashir, who was wanted by the Hague based ICC, visited Chad, a signatory to the Rome Statute which established the world court, for three days, and was warmly welcomed by President Deby much to the chagrin of Western powers that wanted N’Djamena to take the elusive Bashir in.

The situation in Tchad is evolving rapidly following the death of President Idris Deby who was killed on the frontline battling heavily armed rebels.
Since the Military Council has assumed responsibility of running the state in this emergency period, Gen Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno son to Idris Deby has been named head of a military council tasked with replacing his father.
Immediately after the announcement of his death on national television, a military council was set up for a period of 18 months.
The country’s new strongman is a 37-year old called Mahamat Idriss Deby Itno, son of late President Idriss Deby. His first actions were the dissolution of the government and that of the national assembly.
