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?
