Government forces have announced that they were killed in an injury while President Devi was inspecting the front lines as rebels intensified a military offensive against the capital in Chad, Africa.
With the death of the president, who has led the long-term administration for more than 30 years, there are concerns that the local situation will become unstable.
Chad's military said in a statement on state television yesterday that President Devi had died from an injury he suffered while inspecting the front lines of a military clash with rebels a few days ago.
The statement does not go into further detail.
President Devi, who was from the military, overthrew the administration at that time by force and became president himself, and has ruled the country for more than 30 years.
The presidential election was held in Chad on the 11th of this month, and the provisional ballot counting results announced on the 19th confirmed Mr. Devi's reelection.
On the other hand, there have been many criticisms of Mr. Devi's powerful system, and since the beginning of this month, rebels based in neighboring Libya have intensified their armed offensive and approached the capital N'Djamena, violently clashing with government forces. ..
For the time being, the military will govern the country until it is transferred to civilian rule, but there are concerns that the death of Mr. Devi will destabilize not only the country but also the neighboring countries.
