Tchad opposition warns of political tensions amid judicial crackdown

The political landscape in Chad grows increasingly tense as the opposition movement Les Patriotes raises fresh concerns about the nation’s climate. During a press briefing held in N’Djamena this week, the party—part of the former Groupe de concertation des acteurs politiques (GCAP)—highlighted what it terms a hardening of government policies, coinciding with judicial actions against multiple political figures.

In addition to political repression, the group underscored a worsening security situation and deepening communal divisions across the country. The warnings come at a critical juncture, as tensions between state authorities and opposition forces continue to escalate.
