Purpose of the trip: Galvanize the troops and strengthen the military system Presidential spokesman Brah Mahmat said after an attack by the Military Command Council for the Salvation of the Republic on the eve of the festivities celebrating the anniversary of independence, which allegedly resulted in prisoners and deaths, according to the rebels. The government, for its part, has not communicated a report.
At the beginning of June, fighting in the area already pitted the army against this rebellion, with each camp providing contradictory reports.
At the same time this Friday, the Front pour l’alternance et la concorde au Tchad (FACT), which had launched the fatal offensive against President Idriss Déby, announced that its base had been bombed, killing three people and wounding four. He denounces “ the preparation of a Chadian offensive against its bases in Libya “. ” It’s just propaganda “, we say to the Ministry of Defense. But the Fact announces the breaking of the ceasefire, declared unilaterally in April 2021.
For his part, the former head of Chadian intelligence Baba Ladde threatens in a press release to take up arms again if, he says, ” a real dialogue is not started.
All this four months before the constitutional referendum scheduled for December 17 in Chad and just over a year before the presidential election.
