A journalist and a musician are among the dead.
About 50 people were killed and nearly 300 injured in violence that broke out in Chad on Thursday as hundreds took to the streets to demand a quicker transition to democratic rule.
Bodies covered by Chadian flags are lined up on the ground during a protest in N’Djamena, Chad, Oct. 20, 2022. Opposition and civil society groups called for the protests on Thursday, which would have marked the end of an initially agreed-upon 18-month transition period.But demonstrators showed up early in the morning, barricaded roads, and torched the party headquarters of the new prime minister.
Chadian journalist Oredje Narcisse, who had worked with Reuters in the past, was among the dead, his brother said.
