Chad’s northern protests point to fragile peripheries
Significance Demonstrations had started in mid-November, when the governor decided to confiscate vehicles that did not conform to regulations in an effort to crack down on criminality. However, the severity of the protests reflects deep-seated economic and security-related grievances among youth that extend beyond one administrator. Impacts Further disturbances in Faya-Largeau would cast an unwelcome shadow over the inclusive national dialogue with rebel groups. The weakness of state authority in the north will be a challenge for election administration in 2022. Unrest in Faya-Largeau and the north more broadly may embolden rebels, who attempted major assaults on Chad in 2019 and 2021.
