🇹🇩🇱🇾🇳🇪 Chad's President says border with Libya, Niger in need for more vigilance
Chad's President Mahmat Deby said Tibesti state - border area with Libya and Niger - needed more vigilance, urging forces in the region to play a more viable part in helping security and defense forces to protect the border, people and properties.
Deby's arrival at the border coincided with the eruption of clashes between Chadian army forces and rebel fighters from FACT, which were barricaded in Libyan territory.
Meanwhile, Khalifa Haftar's forces started last Friday a military operation in south Libya to "expel foreign armed groups on border with Chad."

🇹🇩 Two killed in Chad while trying to sneak in French military base amidst ongoing protests
The Chadian army killed on Wednesday two people who were trying to infiltrate a French military base in the northern city of Faya-Largeau amid protests against the death of a Chadian soldier who attacked French doctor.
The Chadian army intervened to curtail the protest and clashed with demonstrators who tried to make their way into a French military base.
The Chadian troops guarding the facility have fired shots in order to dispense the crowd. At least 15 people were wounded in the clashes. Two people who tried to sneak in the base were shot dead.
“The death toll was three people, including the Chadian soldier killed by the French. About 15 people sustained injuries of varying severity. There are women and children among the victims,” according to local sources.

🇹🇩 Chad's new prime minister decided to forfeit his salary to "help those in need"
Chad's new interim prime minister says he is forfeiting his own pay to help others in the country, as "a way of modestly contributing what could have belonged to me".
"I am giving up my salary as prime minister, which I will devote entirely to a social scholarship for the 23 provinces," Succès Masra told.
"I feel I have a mission and a privilege to serve the republic," he added.
Soon after, a transitional legislator, Bedei Toullomi, also said he would give up 50% of his salary and donate the rest to orphanages.
It is not clear how much top government officials in Chad earn, as such information is closely guarded.

🇹🇩 There has been another escalation in the Sahel: in the heart of the capital of Chad, the sounds of gunshots and explosions were heard all day, and armored vehicles are still roaming the streets of N'Djamena while military patrols are active.
Authorities shut down the country's Internet this morning, hindering a clear understanding of the full situation.
Amid the chaos, rumors of another military coup have been circulating widely on social media.
📌 However, all signs point to a “ family conflict ” within the power structure in N’Djamena.
▪️ During the night of February 27-28, unidentified individuals attacked the headquarters of the National State Security Agency, resulting in the deaths of "several" individuals.
▪️ In response, troops were deployed throughout the capital, and the attack was attributed to supporters of the Socialist Party without Borders.
The communications minister of Chad accused the socialists of the attack, linking it to the previous day's arrest of the financial secretary of the socialist party for “ inciting ” an attempt on the life of the Supreme Court chairman, Samir Adam Annur.
❗️It is noteworthy that this party is led by the cousin of the current military leader of the country , Mahamat Deby, along with one opposition figure, Yaya Dillo,, and his uncle, Saleh Deby, who is the brother of the former interim president of the country , Idriss Deby.
▪️ Throughout the day, tensions escalated, culminating in an armed confrontation between the army and Dillo's supporters.
▪️ By the end of the day, government forces had regained control: all offices of the Socialist Party without Borders were bombed, Saleh Debi's residence was raided, and Yaya Dillo was killed during the clashes.
▪️ Currently, the President of Chad announced that the situation in N'Djamena has stabilized, and government forces will maintain blockades and patrols in the capital to restore order.
He also ordered the arrest of all individuals involved in the attack on the security service.
🔻It is likely that the National State Security Agency building was attacked by the most radical supporters of Dillo without his direct command to “overthrow the government.”
Mahamat Deby likely seized the opportunity, accusing the Socialist Party of a conspiracy and discreetly eliminating the most threatening family members to his authority, who had access to certain military resources.
Considering that Deby's father himself came to power in a military coup in 1990, and with neighboring Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger also having military leaders recently, his concerns about his brother and uncle are justified.
