The Di goment of Chad dey insists that the situation in the capital N’Djamena is stable after gunfire near the presidential palace.

On Wednesday, January 8, kasala bees burst after a group of gunmen tried to attack the presidential complex.

Convoys of military vehicles drive towards the presidency and continuous gunfire surrounds the presidential palace in the Central African countryside.

Sources close to Goment Tok say na kasala broke out between the security forces and “terrorist elements”.

Chadian Foreign Minister Abderaman Koulamallah said “attempts to destabilize the conflict, but they do not neutralize am and every tin dey under control.

The French news agency AFP quotes Koulamallah Wey Tok as saying that 18 attackers and one member of the security forces died in the attack.

“We abandon all attempts at destabilization”

Chad is a landlocked country for North and Central Africa, since gaining independence from France in 1960, we often see periods of instability and fighting, most recently between government forces and the Islamist group Boko Haram.

The counter-leader of President Mahamat Déby, after the military installation for 2021, after my father, Idriss Déby, dies of a battle with rebel forces after 30 years in power.

After the incident on Wednesday, they are not blocking all the roads leading to the presidency and mounting tanks for the streets of the capital, AFP tok.

For a video from Facebook, it shows members of the goment forces surrounding Koulamallah.

“Nothing serious not happun,” e tok.

“We dey here and we go defend our country with the price of our blood. Be calm.

“We are not taking on the whole attempted destabilization.”

I show the video as I take photos and raise my fist.

AFP quotes Koulamallah as saying that a 24-man commando unit is to launch an attack, adding that six of the attackers have been wounded.

Anoda three members of di government forces also suffer injuries, e addition.

The incident comes just hours after a former Chinese foreign minister, Wang Yi, visits the French territory and meets with Déby and other senior officials.

Late last month, Chad held a set of parliamentary elections that were widely hyped as a first step in the transition from military to civilian rule.

However, opposition groups are not advising dia supporters to boycott the vote over major concerns of voter fraud.

Chad now hosts the French military base, where France uses logistical and intelligence support for the Chadian army and to participate in regional counter-terrorism operations.

In November, Chad ends a defense cooperation agreement with France, a move Koulamallah says will allow Chad to “assert its full sovereignty”.

Chad is also part of a region that spans Africa and has not been known as the coup belt after a series of military coups since 2020, including for Mali, Niger and Sudan.
