Chad Opposition Leader Kebzabo, Quits Presidential Race

Chad’s main opposition candidate, Saleh Kebzabo, on Monday announced he was withdrawing from the country’s upcoming presidential elections, accusing veteran leader Idriss Deby Itno of using force to intimidate rivals.

In a statement, Kebzabo said he had decided “purely and simply” to quit the April 11 race, a day after two people were killed when security forces tried to arrest another candidate, Yaya Dillo Djerou.
