In Chad, an attempt to destabilize the country's situation has been suppressed.

According to Reuters, government representative Abderaman Koulmallah stated that the situation is fully under control, without going into detail about the incident. "It was a minor incident... everything is calm," he said in front of the camera, with footage posted on Facebook.

A source in the security service described the incident as an attempted terrorist act. "People in three cars attacked the military stationed around the president's office, but the army neutralized them," the source reported on condition of anonymity.

The events on Wednesday coincided with the official visit to N'Djamena by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi. He recently signed a cooperation agreement with France in the field of defense. Chad has been a partner of France for many years and an ally of the West in the fight against Islamic militants in the unstable Sahel region of West and Central Africa.

Chad is led by President Mahamat Idriss Déby, who took power after rebels killed his father, longtime president Idriss Déby, in 2021.

Rich in oil resources, Chad remains one of the poorest countries in Africa.
