Is there an opposition anymore in Chad?

It\u2019s like something out of a Shakespearean drama. A strongman in power. A cousin threatens his position only to end up dead.\n \nBut this is Chad, 2024 \u2013 and the strongman is Chad\u2019s military leader, Mahamat D\xe9by. Recently his most vocal critic, Yaya Dillo, who was also his cousin, was killed in a shootout with security forces.

So what is the relationship between different members of this powerful family?\n \nAnd as the country gears up to Presidential elections on the 6th May \u2013 meant to return the country to constitutional rule - does Chad even have a viable opposition anymore?
