Recent heatwaves and widespread power outages in Chad and Mali are putting pressure on the military juntas that seized power in both countries earlier this year.
In Chad, temperatures have soared above 40 degrees Celsius, leading to health concerns and exacerbating the already fragile situation in the country following the death of President Idriss Deby. The military junta, which took control after Deby's death, is facing criticism for its handling of the crisis and the lack of adequate response to the extreme weather conditions.
