Eleven leaders from Central Africa have gathered in D.R.C.’s capital, Kinshasa, to discuss the “process of political transition in Chad”.

A member of the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS), Chad is being represented by Mahamat Idriss Deby, who was appointed “transitional president” by a national forum earlier this month.

The meeting comes days after clashes between Chadian police and protestors in which 50 people died, including a dozen members of the security forces, according to a government toll.
