Documents consulted by Africa Intelligence reveal a secret company used by the inner circle of Chad leader Mahamat Idriss Déby to order defence equipment. His chief of staff, Idriss Youssouf Boy, is at the heart of complex and lucrative military equipment financing circuits that stretch from Abu Dhabi to Tel Aviv, via Astana, Istanbul and Sofia.

Mahamat Idriss Déby under fire at home and abroad

With the Chadian transition looking like it will last well beyond the 18 months initially envisaged, Chad's interim leader has been taking flak from Paris and Washington, two of his main partners. He had to field a tense phone call from Emmanuel Macron last month, the so-called pre-dialogue in Doha is dragging on, and discontent is growing in his own camp.
