Chad's government said on Thursday it will hold a national dialogue starting Aug. 20, a precursor to elections promised by interim president Mahamat Idriss Deby when he seized power following his father's death last year.
Deby declared himself head of a Transitional Military Council in April 2021 after his father, Chad's longtime ruler Idriss Deby, was killed while visiting troops fighting an insurgency in the north.
