Heavy gunfire erupted in Chad's capital N'Djamena following an attack on the National Security Agency headquarters, resulting in casualties and disruptions to internet connectivity. The government blamed the opposition Socialist Party Without Borders for the attack and vowed to prosecute those involved. Tensions have escalated ahead of the upcoming presidential elections, with opposition leader Yaya Dillo being accused of orchestrating the attack. The situation reflects the complex political landscape in Chad as it transitions from military to civilian rule, with concerns raised about the neutrality of the electoral commission and the potential continuation of the Déby dynasty.
