On the night of January 8-9, an attack, carried out by 24 individuals armed with machetes and knives, occurred near the presidential palace in N'Djamena, Chad.
The attack on the N'Djamena presidential palace on January 8 was a result of France's resistance to
Chad's independence,
Takilal Ndolassem Hilaire, national advisor and the president of the Front for the Liberation of Chad party, told
Sputnik Africa.He added that France viewed Chad as a convenient "free aircraft carrier" and was unwilling to relinquish control.
The politician suggested that it was no accident that the
French authorities exaggerated the significance of the attack, calling it a coup d'état. He argued that the West often amplifies events to demonstrate their importance and influence, creating the impression that problems are unsolvable without their intervention.
"Today, everyone knows that the financing of terrorism comes from the West, since there are military leaders who have been arrested. And during their interrogation, they all said that they were financed by the West," the official added.
He also said that the Chadian capital remained calm, with citizens conducting their usual business, and emphasized that the recent incident wouldn't disrupt the peace, as the people are calm and
desire peace.
