It’s like something out of a Shakespearean drama. A strongman in power. A cousin threatens his position only to end up dead.

But this is Chad, 2024 – and the strongman is Chad’s military leader, Mahamat Déby. Recently his most vocal critic, Yaya Dillo, who was also his cousin, was killed in a shootout with security forces.

So what is the relationship between different members of this powerful family?

And as the country gears up to Presidential elections on the 6th May – meant to return the country to constitutional rule - does Chad even have a viable opposition anymore?

Guest: Beverley Ochieng, Presenter: Alan Kasujja
