No fewer than 50 people have been killed while 300 injured as protest rocks Chad over a demand for a quicker transition to democratic rule.

His son, Mahamat Idriss Deby, seized power in the immediate aftermath and initially promised an 18-month transition to elections, but on October 1 he announced they would be pushed back by two years.
