Chad’s capital, N’Djamena, is reeling from a deadly attack at the internal security agency headquarters, where several individuals have been reported dead.
The Chadian government has swiftly pointed fingers at the Socialist Party Without Borders (PSF) and its leader Yaya Dillo for orchestrating the assault.
According to government sources, the attack is believed to be an attempt to disrupt the upcoming presidential election scheduled for May. The government says that the situation is now under control, with PSF members arrested and assurances of prosecution for those responsible.
Yaya Dillo, a prominent opponent of current president Mahamat Déby, has vehemently denied any involvement in the attack.
He accuses the government of staging the incident to undermine his political movement.
In the midst of the escalating tensions, reports of heavy gunfire near the Chadian opposition’s headquarters add to the atmosphere of uncertainty and apprehension surrounding the country’s political landscape.
Ahead of the election, concerns over security and political stability loom large, heightening anxieties among citizens and observers alike.
