 Now, Charles, military has claimed a victory in its weeks-long battle with northern rebels that led to the death of President Idris Debi on the front line. The rebel group, Front for Change and Concord in charge, did not respond to a request for comment on the military's claim on Sunday. Now, the transitional military authorities have previously said they have defeated the rebels only for fighting to continue. Charles soldiers were greeted with cheers as they returned to the capital in Jomena on Sunday. The military says it had defeated northern rebels following weeks of fighting. It was in those clashes that President Idris Debi was killed, after which a military cancelled as in power. On Sunday, the military displayed prisoners and vehicles from the Front for Change and Concord in charge for the media. Abaq Abdo Kareem Dawood is the Chadi and Army's Chief of General Staff. We brought back war prisoners and their gear. We cleaned up all the areas where they infiltrated and I can guarantee that the whole territory is secured. We asked the people to return to their normal occupations and enjoy regained peace. Our country is secured thanks to God. However, this is not the first time that the transition on military authorities have declared victory, only for fighting to then continue. The rebel group which crossed the border with Libya in April says it was not aware of an end to fighting. A spokesman said they would comment when there was reliable and credible information. Debi's debt in a battle against rebels plunged into crisis. The military council led by Debi's son took power and promised an 18-month transition to elections. But opposition politicians and civil society groups have denounced the takeover as a coup. On Saturday, security forces fired tear gas to disperse the protest against the military takeover.
