Chad, a landlocked country in Africa seems to be particularly influenced by marked violence from regions like Darfur. The black rebels in the country have led to a hostile bid against the President of Chad, Idriss Deby who is facing rebellious attacks and violence over his administration and governance. The President has finally declared an emergency which will be in effect for 15 days.
Chad is very explicitly divided into groups which are belligerent in turning over Deby’s government and are indulging in unceasing attempts to overthrow him. All this insurgency started in 2006 when these armed rebels stormed into Chad’s territories but were ultimately repelled by Chadian army who has a strong backing of the French as it supplies logistics and intelligence support. The Battle of N’Djamena in which the rebel forces entered Chad’s capital has sparked off the emergency measures taken by the President.
The pivot for this rebellion, as anticipated by President Deby is Sudan who supports these causes. But now the emergency has come as an impeccable attempt on part of the Chadian government to monitor the operations of these rebels as well as civilians in the country’s territories. With a diligent eye on public and private press as well as transport and house searches, the President does not want to leave any table unturned to cope up with these attacks.
President Deby, who has won three consecutive Presidential elections in the country since 1990, is seriously facing authority and power sustenance issues. A land marked by violence on all sides seems to be facing testing times with the emergency now being declared. Lets see how far this challenge of rebels is going to exist.
