Chadian leader Idriss Deby has slammed recent protests experienced in the country terming them insurrection with foreign support.
The protests were violently repressed and resulted in at least fifty deaths.
Deby denounced the demonstrations and further warned the opposition against insurrection insurgency.
In a televised speech on Monday, Deby said accused foreign powers which he did not name, of supporting the uprisings.
Chad’s opposition had called for peaceful protests on Thursday to mark the date when the military had promised to hand over power in the unstable Sahel country.
On the other hand, Derby called for national unity for the sake of peace in the country.
Junta head Mahamat Idriss Deby, a 38-year-old five-star general, has been in power since his iron-fisted father was killed in an operation against rebels in April 2021.
