In Chad, the Socialist Party Without Borders (PSF) hopes to resume its political activities soon, and organize a tribute in June to Yaya Dillo. The formation lost its leader on February 28, 2024, when he was killed in a large-scale military assault on its headquarters in central Ndjamena. The party denounced a “ assassination “.
