Nearly 200 Chadians from parties claiming to be "opposition", took to the streets of N'Djamena on Wednesday in a rally to demonstrate their "unwavering support" for the military power led by the son of President Idriss Déby who died in April.

This was the first demonstration authorized by the Transitional Military Council (TMC), which proclaimed itself the head of the country on April 20 following the announcement of the death of Marshal Déby, who had ruled Chad with an iron fist for 30 years.
