 Also, the former president of Chad, his sony, Habre, who died this week while serving a life sentence for war crimes, has been buried. He was laid to rest in Senegal after a mutated funeral at the car park of a half-bued mosque littered with construction equipment. Habre ruled Chad from 1982 to 1990, during which his political police tortured, killed and raped tens of thousands of suspected enemies. The former strongman initially received backing from France and the United States, but that stopped as support at home drained away. He was outstared in a coup after which he fled to Senegal, where he died after contracting COVID-19.
