The Chadian army has claimed victory in its weeks-long battle with northern rebels that led to the death of President Idriss Deby on the front line.

The rebel group Front for Change and Concord in Chad (FACT) has not reacted to the military’s claim on Sunday. 

The transitional military authorities have previously said they have defeated the rebels only for fighting to continue.

As Abdullahi Hassan reports, Chad military council has refused to negotiate with FACT.
