In Chad, General Mahamat Idriss Deby Itno on Monday appointed by decree 104 more members of his "parliament" as he leads a two-year transitional government after taking power on the death of his father.
In early October, a national reconciliation dialogue (DNIS), which gave him an additional 24 months as transitional president, recommended increasing the number of "deputies" in the National Transitional Council (CNT), which has acted as parliament since Mr. Déby was first proclaimed head of state on 20 April 2021, at the head of a junta of 15 generals, from 93 to 197.
