Tchad Infos

: “ 

despite the military device crisscrossing the 5th district of N'Djamena, the opponent Yaya Dillo would have been exfiltrated Sunday around 6 pm from his home according to his relatives.

Yaya Dillo reportedly took advantage of the confusion caused by civilians throwing stones at Chadian army tanks to escape.

 Where is he now?

Mystery.

Indeed, asks

Chad Info

, " 

how did the opponent fall through the cracks when soldiers have been crisscrossing the neighborhood for three days?"

Some experts point to the Chadian authorities' desire not to "add fuel to the fire" after the death of the mother and a nephew of the former rebel leader.

 »(Yesterday we were talking about his 11-year-old son…) So, did the authorities let him escape?

We do not know…

“ 

For his part,

says

Chad Info, the public prosecutor Youssouf Tom announced that Yaya Dillo had“ left his home with the help of a few acolytes and that his position remained unknown ”.

A judicial inquiry has been opened for murder, assault and battery, and aiding and abetting murder.

(Because, in addition to members of the opponent's family, police officers were also reportedly killed).

It was still difficult yesterday to communicate with the Chadian capital,

notes the site 

: the internet still cut and the telephone network extremely disturbed.

 "

A very cumbersome opponent ...

What was Yaya Dillo criticized for?

Well, responds

Le Pays

au Burkina, "

He was accused by the authorities" of attempting to destabilize state institutions, and has been for a long time

. "

"In fact, estimates the daily Ouagalais,"

everything

leads 

to believe that President Idriss Deby was personally angry with Sieur Dillo who came into disgrace after denouncing the sumptuary expenses of the First Lady.

And as if that were not enough, the former minister now coveted the presidential chair, since he had officially submitted his candidacy the past weekend, just a few hours before the attack on his home.

Everything that the warrior who became a marshal did not see a good eye, especially since Yaya Dillo, it is said, benefited, in this race for the shallot, from the support of personalities who do not count for butter.

In any case, Deby would like to afford a boulevard that he would not do otherwise,

exclaims L

e Pays.

Because, learning from what happened to Yaya Dillo, (another opponent) Saleh Kedzabo decided to withdraw his candidacy for the presidential election, denouncing in passing a "militarization of the electoral process".

 "

“ 

Indeed

, says

Jeune Afrique

,

Saleh Kebzabo described the events at Yaya Dillo's home as" pure and simple barbarism "on the part of" unworthy leaders ".

Success Masra, another contender who submitted his candidacy for the presidential election, for his part demanded the resignation of Idriss Deby.

Niger: Hama Amadou responsible for post-election unrest?

Another country, Niger.

Another opponent, Hama Amadou.

“ 

Hama Amadou went on his own,” recalls the site

L'Événement Niger,

at the Niamey police station last Tuesday, when he was accused by the country's officials of being at the origin of the unrest that arose after the event. 'presidential election. 

This voluntary action by the opponent was perhaps intended to prove that he had nothing to be ashamed of ... In any case, the Nigerien authorities did not hear it that way.

Return to prison for Hama

",

headlines

L'Observateur Paalga

in Ouagadougou.

What earned him this time to return to Filingué prison, it was the violent post-election demonstrations that broke out in Niger, after the proclamation of the provisional results of the second round of the presidential election, which gave Mohamed Bazoum the winner to the detriment of the former head of state, Mahamane Ousmane, supported by "Hama".

This resulted in the destruction of public and private property, including the burning of the home of Moussa Kaka, RFI's correspondent in Niger, and caused the death of two people.

(…) By deciding to send Hama Amadou, accused of being the godfather of the demonstrators, behind bars, the Nigerien authorities opted for firmness,

points out the Ouagalan daily,

when the tension had somewhat subsided.

We must believe,

considers

L'Observateur Paalga, that justice has solid elements to initiate this procedure, which could,

warns the newspaper

, rekindle the fire smoldering under the ashes of the clashes of last week.
