A truly Chad way to go
quote:
Chad's President Idriss Deby Itno has died on the battlefield after three decades in power, the army announced on state television on Tuesday.
The stunning announcement came just hours after electoral officials had declared Deby, 68, the winner of the April 11 presidential election, paving the way for him to stay in power for six more years.
Deby "has just breathed his last defending the sovereign nation on the battlefield" over the weekend, army spokesman General Azem Bermandoa Agouna said in a statement read out on state television.
Deby's campaign said on Monday that he was headed to the frontlines to join troops battling "terrorists".
The circumstances of Deby’s death could not immediately be independently confirmed due to the remote location. It was not known why the president would have visited the area or participated in ongoing clashes with the rebels who opposed his rule.
Rebels based across the northern frontier in Libya attacked a border post on election day and then advanced hundreds of kilometres south across the desert.

Die in battle? Has a US president ever done this?

There’s probably some statute that says a President must resign any officer commission they have in the military prior to assuming office. Technically, the U.S. Commander-in-Chief must be a civilian.

No.
Only a handful have died in office.

I mean this is definitely a military coup, right?

Well duh, no little girls on the battlefield

Well that’s one way to give the Rebels hope. There is a reason leaders don’t go to battle.

Someone needs to see what the hyenas were up to at the time.

Gotta keep them black people in chains

The practice of slavery in Chad, as in the Sahel states in general, is an entrenched phenomenon with a long history, going back to the trans-Saharan slave trade in the Sahelian kingdoms, and it continues today. As elsewhere in West Africa, the situation reflects an ethnic, racial and religious rift.[36] IRIN (Integrated Regional Information Networks) of the UN Office for the[37][38] Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs[39][40] reports children being sold to Arab herdsmen in Chad by their parents due to poverty.[41]
