When a leader is known to be at front line of the battle, members of the opposition (or rebels) will deliberately cause problems that will escalate knowing fully well that he will be at the fore front. If they recruite 20,000 fighters; 10,000 will be assigned to face his army and other 10,000 fighters will be assigned to him alone to monitor every of his step and then terminate him.

It is a suicide mission for a president to be at the front line and a bonus for the rebels.

Everybody loves power. Immediate family members or close associate could easily plot agains a leader like Idris Deby because he is highly vulnerable.


Idris Deby first led a battle against bokoharam he succeeded. The last one was against the rebels who knew he will repeat what he did against bokoharam and plot for him.

Says a terrorist sympathiser.

Laurent Desire Kabila was deleted by his personal body guard paving way for Josef Kabila to take over.

How can you say the commander in chief was killed and no other casualty is on record.
Before you hit the commander in chief, the whole army suppose don wipe naau

Someone who was supposed to be the most protected and his position the most garrisoned.

Na inside Job abeg.

Sharpali his son don take over.

Africa eeeee this why West keeps looking down on us.

At late sixties you still dey go form Rambo for battle front.

Bros walahi ororo too dey your head. I have said it before to someone, this was a perfectly planned coup. The BBC report said only 5 soilders died in the battle while about 200 rebels were killed with about 350 arrested. So out of the 5 army personnel that died It was just so convinient that d president of a whole country was one of them.

The haste with which d son abolished the constitution , dismantled the parliament and took over power sef points to it as a perfectly planned insider coup. They only used the rebel attack as cover to deflect attention from them ni so as to avoid international uproar

I agree. A leader must never be at the frontline
Infact, the brain behind wars shouldn't even be on the battleground atall. Controlling the vertical and horizontal axis of the battle turf from an undisclosed location

It doesn't matter that he lost his life doing the right thing, he was an inspirational leader that should be remembered fondly, that's why chadian soldiers are more successful in fighting Boko Haram than Nigerian despite our wealth and number. Heroes are not made by how they died but what they stood for, many heroes that we celebrate today in scientists, philosophers and even social activists were hated and gruesomely killed by people of their era, but their works laid the foundation for the modern science and civilized society we are benefiting from today. Kudos to the man for standing for what he believed in. RIP

He is a companion of fool.with fools as advisers.he kept on reading the wrong book instead of reading the bible.

A razor cut investigation may reveal that he died not from the bullet of the rebels after all.


It could be an inside job!



He might have trusted his troops to a fault.




He might have been betrayed!

Quit unnecessary assumptions. I don't think you know what a coup is? Calm down what tension? Please do your research well before you keep making unnecessary assumptions? The has always been a risk taker not generals who sit in.their offices to direct.
Pierocash:
swearing in his son is just to calm tension, since the leadership is still within the family. It is a simple logic.

His son may be ,or not involve. But one is is still constant,it is a military coup

Continue to make excuses for Buhari who promised to lead from the front but resorted to orally condemning Boko haram insurgency like those Hausa people that hawk irons and metals while shouting "Iron condemnnnnnn" at the top of their voices in Lagos streets.
But those same Hausa's are richer than your forefathers! and still ruling you lol

He was a gallant soldier. But he reasoned like the kings during the medieval age that go to war with troops and have to lead from the front. Bad he paid the supreme prize. He was more of military man that a politician.

A true leader put his people First and stand in the Front to show and prove his commitment, see how even the U S is eulogisiy him?you think he was like the spineless terrorist sympathiser, and coded sponsorer you call leaders here?sorry,I WOULD DO exactly like him if ...

Strongly disagreed. Why is Russia not looked down upon with their power monger politics. The answer is "DEVELOPMENT". Infrastructures to all, physical and mutual.

Seems like a close range Shot - more or less an assassination. The president could not have survived this Saturday shot - he may have died instantly - 72 hrs was used to prepare for military takeover. US and UK got wind of his demise and immediately ordered all their staff to leave Chad on Sunday. Tuesday his death is announced. Hmmm

Viewers discretion advised!!
