Does Chad have a president for life?

30 years in office – and counting.

Young Chadians have only known one president for their whole lives: Idriss Deby.

He came to power in a coup, back in 1990, and has remained in power ever since.

Now, he’s running for president again: if elected, this could be his sixth term in office.

In the last few weeks, anti-government protests were banned and internet access limited.

And this has only added to the anger of those Chadians who feel “enough is enough”.

So, how did Mr Deby manage to stay in power for so long?
