Many Chadians were not happy about the appointment of Mahamat <em>D\u00e9by, describing the move as <\/em>unconstitutional.<\/p>\n<p>On the 27<sup>th<\/sup> of April, young Chadians took to the streets of N&#8217;Djamena, the capital, to demonstrate against military rule. At least five people were reportedly killed in the violent protest. The Chadian administration formed an inclusive national dialogue days after the protest. But nothing much has changed since the military takeover and the rebel group, Fighters of the Front for Change and Concord in Chad, known as FACT, is still considered a threat.<\/p>\n<p><em>D\u00e9by\u2019s promise of a democratic election remains.
