Opposition in Chad warns of political and security tensions

The political climate in Chad has taken a concerning turn, as highlighted by the opposition party Les Patriotes, a member of the former Groupe de concertation des acteurs politiques (GCAP). During a press conference held in N’Djamena on Wednesday, the party raised alarm over what it termed a tightening grip on power, citing recent judicial actions against several political figures.

In addition to political repression, the movement pointed to a worsening security situation and deepening communal divisions within the country. The statements reflect growing unease among opposition groups about the direction of governance and national stability.
