Deby’s son was immediately announced as his successor, and a military council set up.

Civil society groups in Chad are calling for more protests to demand a return to civilian rule.
Some demonstrators say they want to choose their leader freely, while others accuse France of backing the military council against the will of the people.
So, can the crisis be contained?
