Chad’s military has said the son of the late President Idriss Deby will head the transitional government after the death of his father.
The army says the elder Deby was killed in clashes with rebels in the north.
In his place, Mahamat Idriss Deby will head an 18-month interim government until elections are held.

Even when nkuruziza died they said m7 next when magufuli died also it was same story m7 next It’s God’s who knows the next maybe its 👉👉👉
@Kavuma david Right
Seems like a coup
Just another military junta taking over
@Loki Loki better than murica giving freedom
Why not the Deputy President elect?France is responsible.
It is for stability and mantain its army in order to fight rebel. The only problem is why is the rebel so strong where it have enough fire power to kill a president?
@Karman 103 Batth Because the country flourished under Déby? My God can you do anything but attack the West?
Reminds me of burma🤦♂️
If only Buhari could fight BH the way this man did
@ibrahim abubakar Even prophet Mohammed has supporters.
@Watching the Hawks NABI MOHAMED SCW SCW SCW SCW SCW SCW SCW SCW
@Watching the Hawks Buhari is a dishonest man please don’t compare prophet Muhammad SAW to him
He was good at milatary Nigeria I dying against boko haram while chad they take a step in soldiers are killing them
@ibrahim abubakar I will always support a black man against an Arab man.
1:51 Isis flag
Boom harms in the south
So the son wanted to rule? Power corrupts.
@MH Codes wasn’t only president and they also didn’t announce the death of any other officials…. soldiers on his side died too… obviously, its a fight
@Saint Rei dude you are naive. Not everyone is corrupt everywhere.
@MH Codes yeah, i live around here… u dont, stfu and keep it pushin ….with ur assumptions… the person watching on tv is calling me naive, yall outside just love making theories and assumptions, talking about top official and president were the only ones killed, who told u so? …….. commot for here abeg
His son did the rite thing for his country, father or not if your part of the problem you gotta go, that gigs rocked his daddy snot box
@Saint Rei He say its “commot for here,abeg”. I’m screaming 🤣😂
Newly voted KIA, so quick
He was kill by his own son
30 years in power then now his young son is starting his 30+ years under protection of France who supports all dictators as usual… Poor people are just watching the country being inherited including them with no say whatsoever…
Sure you can whine but it’s neither the french nor the Chinese who have the power, it’s thoses guys in uniform who just shot your president and who got the guns. Btw france is not even supporting chad right now they just have their base. China is there making debt trap, stealing chad minerals and supporting thoses armed guys. But so what, it’s not up to the French or the Chinese to defend you guys. You got to do it yourself.
@western wumao my friend don’t make excuse France is a virus’s in Africa.
RIP. May Almighty GOD given Higher place in Paradise. Aameen
Power corrupts.
Those guys in uniforms having shot their president seems like trustworthy people…
What a disgrace
France(the Evil)is behind this. It shall never be well with France. May jannah be his final resting home.
You would want the people of Chad to believe this because you support the islamists rebels. But france has been doing very little besides providing equipment.
@MrRedsjack who are the sponsor of the rebels is it not France? They provide them with all the equipment for their selfish interest.
Stop accusing France and take control of your destiny
@Ahmed Shuaibu what interest does franch have in supporting the rebels? Chad is already aligned with France.
@MrRedsjack really? You don’t know? No Africa no France, if Africa doesn’t feet them they will definitely live no more. So they make sure Africa keeps providing for them and if you claim to be not with them, they will obviously delete you just as they have been doing before I was born.
The price one pay when hosted two opposing foe in one land. West and China.Ever wonder who will benefit from this and it will shown who benefited and one should ask question how and why.
The President was brought to the battleground by the army and was killed by his own army.
You sir are a Wiseman.
@hassan musa
Thank you brother.
I understand that the president will definitely protect the nations but the timing is awesome to protect people so early
France: *so sad, next!*
France: *next in line!*
Is this a monarchy nation
France still destabalizing africa
France stay out of Africa.
Nothing to see here, just another junta in Africa. Rest in pepperoni
So is this like this,
Chad President : “What is this ? What are u doing, My Son ?”
His Son : “Succeeding you, Father”
@Richard Foran close but the right one is Warcraft 3 when arthas kill his father the king after being corrupted.
Wy do you hate the juwes and akhil is dead and you are charged with blasmey for in saletong Michael the arck anagels and jehovah is doing this to you people
This is exactly what we don’t need on our African
Continent the dictators Son replaces him as if they are the only one’s to Rule…his Son he is not entitled to replace him this is why dictators we must eliminate them up and down the continent of Africa dictators must be eliminated his son has no right to replace his father because Chad is a country and not a family business shame really
Dies the next day after being elected while on the front line? Is anyone buying this?
Nope !!!
Complete failure
Only France is benefiting from this.
President, hmmm more so like a cartel leader
Delete the comments it is what it is. France a parasite to Africa.
@ 0:11 what french soldiers are doing in Chad ??
Not like the son had anything to gain from accidentally popping his poppa
Why would he wait over 3 decades to do that
@Serenity exactly, its not the first time his dad went out to fight, they just finally killed him….he fought a couple times b4
not very chad.
all jokes aside hopefully all the chadians are doing fine, sorry what happened.
France is curel a wolf in a sheep clothing
*where vice president?*
The chad army should have put him on the stretch after the chopper have landed and then carry him to the army hospital 🏥 the president should have walk on his wounded oh ho Africa when are we going to think far
What a chad move
Democratic or monarch authotarian?
African Union must not recognise this made in France scam, unless they are paid not too
We don’t have african Union its another European Union in africa dont get fooled
clearly assainated by French colonisers and then they pretend he went to front line
He was France best friend
@MrRedsjack saddam and khadafi was also best friends of France and other Western countries until they turn on the puppets. western psychopaths don’t have “best friends”
It must be a military coup, how can a state president killed that easily????
African stop joking
Wakanda Forever !!!
Another Dictator born. Down dictator give people chance
It’s probably his son that got him killed, the cause of death makes absolutely no sense
yeah it seemed impossible an aging president who’s had difficulty walking suddenly went to the frontline and fight with his men.
His own people prob killed him.
i am confused , they are all chads or is chad a country ?
Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you’ll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.
How do I start trading with Mr George David
+ (1= 8=6)=(4=9=9=9)=(5=9=5=5)
@Williams Smith his availability is on w..h..a..t..s..a..p..p..
@Charlotte Emma Thanks ,
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 a group of conmen and women advertising their coup
A sixth term? That’s 30 years people the guy had to go.
yes but taken out by his own son… cold world
@Damien Jô what makes you think his son killed him though
@rahmafia khatib his son was head of the presidential guard from what i understand his ultimate job is to protect the president for the president to be killed under his watch and then he is immediately inserted as new leader is suspicious to say the least.
When are you aljazeera talk about nigeria state sponsored fulani terrorism?
Welcome NUG. .💓☮✝☪🕉☸✡🔯🕎☯🆓8️⃣8️⃣8️⃣8️⃣🆓
African worst enemy is African
Dèby💔😢
India and indians especially its political parties are giving condolences to his family and also the citizens of Chad we stand by the hard times that Chad is going through very soon whatever help or assistance the country needs we will provide the same.
Cool go there an help the ppl out dude!!!! 😤🤧🐝
I like the Uniforms. Good will prevail. Cut the bad out.
One of the French Plantation workers just died and you calling him president
💯
Maybe the son killed the father you never know. That’s Africa!
My country 😔😔
Even tho I’m not a fan of life long presidents . How do you go into battle the day after your election is odd. If I won an election wether rigged or legit I would kick back for atleast few days not head Long into battle 😄 RIP tho
His time came. You can hide from death.
Most def the Son killed the guy!
Things don’t seem right on this mans death. Rumours has it that he was killed by the military. Can France be the perpetrator?
France misled the troops but Tue junta seems scare to confront France, France has thousands of military and hard wares around many African countries including Chad only AU can safe Chad if they want to get rid of France.
30+ years in power and now his son is succeeding him, and they wonder why the have a rebellion. Stupid!
You are right
the son is responsible for the coup
One big hello from Chad 🇹🇩
France people are played Chad very much, and people are very poor until they immigrate to Europe and another Countries, and that’s why Chadian they got suspicious now the best solution for France’s exit from Chad is the last dialogue
Are you from Chad, if yes then why are you guys dying for France and fight France wars??
@Watching the Hawks Chad has a buried history and also first Toyota war started from Chad, now all over the world fighting by Toyota cars, do you know that
@Mohammed Adam I don’t care about Toyota but people of Chad dies because of Idriss Deby and his war Machine supported by France.
The son killed his father
why does bone heads want to stay in power??? (
Africa way behind in matters of state management .
Thus why Africa lags behind other countries including Asia
The rebels are pushing hard and if decisive action is not taken the rebels will overrun the country therefore it is only military is the solution, they did not plan to stay afterall. 18 months is a good time enough to conquer the enemy and return the country to civil rule.
It is what it is
Keep africa poor even though the continent consists rich natural resources, this will keep europe rich and powerful
Rip my hero 😭😭😭
Good for the people of Chad…if you cant Leave Power, Power will Leave You.
Stop Dictatorship On the African continent.
CONGRATULATIONS to Chad.
Chad had No Vice President…? Is it a country or a kingdom or A family Business. Africa Stop Dictatorship and Nepotism.
Deby was more than 30 jr in office, whit all the oil revenues, he could not build the country, everything look so poor, if you ask mi a stupid guy whit no vision,he was use by the west
“Suspended the constitution”. When a constitution is supposed to deal with matters like this, you can bet that the constitution isn’t worth the paper it’s written on. Still, this is the first leader of a nation who had died leading his army into battle in what must be centuries.
DaBaby?
un collabo est mort va en enfer
What goes around comes around…next.
Good news for Africa,one dictetor less.
Free Democratic Election Is In Interest Of People’s Of Chad
Dictators u’ve no where to hide,,,
Where’s the VP?
The man is still alive,he wants to ensure his son is installed as the new president and consolidate his powers before leaving for the afterlife,Quite a shame……..!Africa!!!!!!SMH
He is old and barely walks and we’re being told he died fighting??? We all know African dictators come nowhere close to fighting rather they send innocents to die for them.
France just needed to replace him nothing changes here france still in control of that country! Some of these african countries will never be free I’m telling you
30 years illegally in power, yet you easily get fooled to join the front line!
Sun of President idiris he is look like mafia and dancers every wn can see his face maybe is him who killed his father hhhhh🤣😂😁😁😁👀
This is my joke
Common sense can tell you he was killed. An all fingers pointing to his son.
FREXIT
The ones that know don’t care and the ones that care don’t know really touched me
The only way to the stability in Africa is the free and transparent elections …Nothing more…
The son might be innocent, a puppet is a lot easier to control
