Chad’s on full alert.
Earlier this week, President Idriss Déby was reportedly killed during a battle with rebel forces.
Since then, the army has appointed his son as leader. But the opposition says Chad “is not a monarchy”.
Tensions are running high. Government and parliament have been dissolved. A curfew remains in place.
Chad’s neighbours are nervous too: the country’s been a key player in the fight against jihadists across the Sahel.
So, what happens now?
