 And moving to other parts of Africa now, Chadian Opposition Coalition has accused France of supporting what it called a coup, and is now calling for organized protests. At late President Idris Derby's funeral on Friday, French President Emmanuel Macron, who sat next to Idris Derby's son, pledged to defend Chad. He also called for a transition to democracy. A military council headed by Derby's son, Mohammed Derby, seized power after his death, saying it intends to oversee an 18-month transition to elections.
