On October 20, 2022, hundreds of demonstrators took to the streets in N’Djamena to demand elections and the departure of the military in power. The march, banned by the authorities, was brutally repressed. Hundreds of people were deported to the high-security Koro Toro prison, where they were tried for their participation in what the government considers an “attempted insurrection”, before being pardoned by the transitional president . Among them, Stéphan Ngueto Djimrangar, a young 30-year-old poet, an unemployed graduate like the majority of young people in the Chadian capital.
