Gunmen launched an attack on the presidential complex in Chad's capital N'Djamena on Wednesday, January 8, 2024, sparking a battle that left 18 attackers and one security personnel member dead and several others injured, the government said.
Reporters heard gunfire erupt near the site in N'Djamena, with tanks seen on the street, while security sources reported that armed men had tried to storm the complex.
The government later said 19 people were killed in the fighting, of which 18 were members of the 24-strong group that launched the assault.
"There were 18 dead and six injured" among the attackers "and we suffered one death and three injured, one of them seriously", declared government spokesman and Foreign Minister Abderaman Koulamallah. Hours after the shooting, Koulamallah appeared in a video on Facebook, surrounded by soldiers, saying that "the situation is completely under control... the destabilization attempt was put down."
Chad, a landlocked country in Africa's northern half, is under military rule and regularly attacked by the jihadist Boko Haram group in the Lake Chad region.
Several security sources said that an armed commando opened fire inside the presidency on Wednesday evening around 7:45 pm (1845 GMT), before being overpowered by the presidential guard. All roads leading to the presidency were blocked and tanks could be seen on the streets, according to reporters at the scene.
