SmartProf:
The same military is making everything seem like a coup having asked his son to take over as leader of the country immediately. I hope there is nothing fishy as per some conspiracy among top army leaders in that country.

Jerryherd:



A country at war with rebels must have a leader immediately, and as a show of respect and sign of Loyalty, his 4 star General son was asked to lead

Pierocash:
Now I know ,that Idris Deby was killed in coup . How can a democratically elected president dies ,and instead of his vice to take over,you imposed a military officer as the head of state,and dissolve parliament.

This is a coup,Idris Deby was killed and over thrown by the military.

Military government laid the foundation of Nigeria's problem today

I smell that the fulani caliphate aren't happy with Deby because of his ruthless dealing of terrorist by leading the war from the Frontline.

I think Isa pantami,and buhari has a question to address

Pierocash:
his son is the highest ranking military officer,when a coup succeeds,it is the highest ranking officer that takes charge. He may,or may not be involve,but his taking over is the only option as far as coup is concerned.


Marcus Aurelious ,One of the Roman Emperor was killed by his own son and took over power.

NOC1:


his son is in charge, so rule out military coup unless he killed his dad.

He was actually shot at battle over the weekend

Pierocash:
can you now see, they shot him using the opportunity of him been at the Frontline.

How did the rebels succeed in shooting him amidst heavily guarded military fighters without his commanders been touched?

xcon:
Foolish reasoning.
