Black Thursday: Chad grants amnesty to police who killed over 50 protestors
Chad's military-led government has granted amnesty to security forces responsible for the deaths of at least 50 opposition protesters during a crackdown in 2022. The amnesty is part of a national reconciliation deal with opposition leader Succès Masra, though some opposition members, like Yaya Dillo, view it as a way to avoid justice. Human rights groups claim the death toll exceeds 300. Over 600 were arrested, with 83 minors among them, and 265 were convicted for various charges. President Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno, who took power after his father's death in 2021, pardoned and released 259 individuals in April.

Gabon coup leaders: Ousted President Ali Bongo now free
Gabonese military leaders have freed deposed President Ali Bongo from house arrest, allowing him to travel abroad for medical check-ups. Bongo, who suffered a stroke in 2018, was ousted following a disputed election. The decision to free him follows pressure from regional bloc Eccas and neighboring countries. The coup, which ended the Bongo family's 56-year rule, has been condemned internationally but welcomed by many Gabonese. Calls for Bongo to face justice over corruption allegations persist. Coup leader Gen Brice Oligui Nguema has been sworn in as transitional president, with Raymond Ndong Sima appointed as interim prime minister.
