Idriss Déby Itno offered Chadians great hope, but ended up leaving a terrible legacy

Dickow, Dr. Helga (2021): „Idriss Déby Itno offered Chadians great hope, but ended up leaving a terrible legacy“, in: The Conversation (Hg.), The Conversation.
Abstract:
The death of Chadian president Idriss Déby Itno from injuries sustained on the battlefield just days before he was to start his sixth term in office has been met with shock and incredulity. The Chadian military announced immediately that it would form a transition government headed by Déby’s 37-year-old son, Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno, for the next 18 months. Like his father, Mahamat is highly ranked in the military. He is a decorated general.
