 Meanwhile, the new leader of Chad is a neighbour in Niger, where he has had a one-on-one meeting with the president weeks after being appointed. General Mohammed Debi Idno was installed as leader of Chad's transitional military council after his father, President Idris Debi, died from bad to a few injuries while fighting rebels close to the Libyan border. On Monday, General Debi had no thanks to President Mohammed Bazim for a warm welcome, calling him his brother. Both Chad and Niger are among the western-bound G5 countries fighting Islamist militants in the Sahel region.
