In Chad, tensions are still being felt in the country, after the death of one of the fiercest opponents of the power of the Déby father and son, Yaya Dillo on February 28, during an assault by the forces of order and security at the headquarters of his party, the PSF.

The government swears so far that he was killed with weapons in his hands, while his family denounces what they describe as a summary execution and refuses to mourn, as tradition dictates, by continuing to demand of the truth.
