Chad deploys combat-ready troops as post-election violence spikes

An armoured vehicle of Chad's army forces is deployed in N'Djamena on May 10, 2024, a day after the announcement of the results of Chad's presidential election.

Chad says it has deployed combat-ready troops to stop armed attacks and maintain peace as the death toll increased to 12 people in post-election violence on Saturday. At least 90 people have sustained severe injuries in the capital, N'djamena.
