More than thirty years of increasingly repressive rule by one man in Chad has in recent weeks given way to sudden political uncertainty, as first an unappointed military council and now a transitional government reckon with the country’s future in the wake of President Idriss Deby’s unexpected death.
Chad’s interim president Mahamat Deby – son of Idriss – on May 2 named a 40-member transitional government after days of widespread popular discontent over power being concentrated within a 15-member Transitional Military Council (CMT), led by Deby.
While some opposition leaders have joined the new transitional government, the majority of ministerial posts were reserved for members of Deby’s Patriotic Salvation Movement (MPS). And there is simmering public discontent that parliament was dissolved and the constitution suspended before the CMT was formed. While parliament reconvened this week, one opposition leader says Chad is still being denied a full transition to civilian rule.
In this episode of The Stream, we’ll look at what lies ahead for people in Chad as it adjusts to life without Idriss Deby.

Amilcar Cabral and the Liberation Struggle: Education as the Corners for Revolution
Join militant historian Sónia Vaz Borges for a lecture on the revolutionary struggle of the PAIGC and life and legacy of Amilcar Cabral.
“The people of ‘Portuguese’ Guinea took up arms to free their country from colonial domination in 1963, under the leadership of the Partido Africano da Independencia da Guiné e Cabo Verde (PAIGC). Amilcar Cabral, the founder of the PAIGC, saw the necessity of freeing their country from Portuguese colonial domination. The experiences of other liberation movements, the growth of neo-colonialism in the newly ‘independent’ African countries, and above all the development of the movement within Guinea itself made clear the necessity of a true socialist revolution if any real change was to be made.
To revolutionary movements throughout the world, the struggle in Guinea is of prime importance as an outstanding illustration of the need to study one’s own concrete conditions and to make the revolution according to these conditions, rather than relying on the experience of others, valuable as this may be.”
-From Amilcar Cabral – Revolution in Guinea Bissau. An African People’s Struggle. London: Stage 1. 1969
