🇹🇩 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.

🇲🇱🇧🇫🇳🇪 What's happening in Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger?
Situation for March 1 - 18, 2024
Seven months after establishing the Sahel Alliance, member states decided to create a joint force to counter the terrorists affecting the region.
In Mali, militants, following defeats in the north, are gradually shifting their area of activity to the south. Former military leaders of the Coordination Movement of Azawad, with connections in Mauritania where some attacks are being prepared, have also joined them.
The Armed Forces of Burkina Faso continue operations to regain control in the west and east of the country. Simultaneously, the terrorists, worn out after a series of attacks in February, decreased their activity in early March.
A period of détente has begun between Niger and the ECOWAS member countries, during which the parties are gradually restoring economic relations. Meanwhile, Niger authorities declared the termination of military cooperation with the United States, also accusing Washington of inadequate assistance in combating terrorists, pressure, threats, and failure to disclose the activities of its military representatives.
