At least 50 people were killed and dozens of others injured in the Chadian capital of N’Djamena on Thursday after their political protests were brutally quelled by the police.
The dead were in a group that was marching with opposition movements to oppose the military junta’s extension of the transition period, in which Chadian leader Mahamat Deby would lead the country for two more years.
