CHAD government forces have quashed an attempted military coup, the communications minister said yesterday. The plotters fled after being repulsed by loyal soldiers on Tuesday night, said Hourmadji Moussa Doumgor. The president, Idriss Deby, was out of the country at the time.| A coup that happens while the Boss is away? I think there are a few details missing from this story. |
| Old news, we ran this on Wed. Da Boss was out of country on business, junior officers tried to grab the throne, loyal troops put it down, plotters are running for their lives. It's right out of "African Coups For Dummies", chapters 5 - 7. |
