And in which interests would France eliminate Déby ? He's an ally of France,a key partner against the jihadisation of the Sahel and for the stabilization of the Sahel...

BTW a military council headed by his son Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno took power.

Well the name of the country is "Chad", it was fitting that way.

RIP, hope Chad can resolve its insurgencies.

Seriously it is known that the Fact rebels are advancing.

It seems they could actually take power in Chad.

Honestly man why even bother so many people especially in Australia ask me we have to help.

I say this just leave Chad, Afghanistan and a lot of these tribal societies alone. You cant save everybody neither has democracy and secularism worked among tribal societies. Its best to leave them alone when you have that mentality of trying to save them you will only lead yourself to disappointment.
