On Wednesday, the Defence Minister of Chad, Daoud Brahim, and the government’s General Secretary, Haliki Choua Mahamat, tendered their resignations. This development followed the widespread circulation on social media of two distinct sex tapes allegedly featuring the officials.
The Prime Minister of Chad, Saleh Kebzabo, accepted their resignations, as confirmed by his spokesperson in a statement. However, the statement did not provide any additional details.
