It wasn't during the war. He was unfortunately around with his men when they were ambushed

Biodun556:
When a leader is known to be at front line of the battle, members of the opposition (or rebels) will deliberately cause problems that will escalate knowing fully well that he will be at the fore front. If they recruite 20,000 fighters; 10,000 will be assigned to face his army and other 10,000 fighters will be assigned to him alone to monitor every of his step and then terminate him.

It is a suicide mission for a president to be at the front line and a bonus for the rebels.

Everybody loves power. Immediate family members or close associate could easily plot agains a leader like Idris Deby because he is highly vulnerable.


Idris Deby first led a battle against bokoharam he succeeded. The last one was against the rebels who knew he will repeat what he did against bokoharam and plot for him.

Khd95:
Idris Debby is better than buhari and all his generals in the war against Boko Haram, unfortunately he died at the Frontline, but history will be kind to him and his soldiers

Pierocash:
Idris Deby was Assassinated through military coup.

If it wasn't a coup, why did the military take over instead of the Prime Minister?


This is pure military coup

This is Congo on repeat.

Laurent Desire Kabila was deleted by his personal body guard paving way for Josef Kabila to take over.

How can you say the commander in chief was killed and no other casualty is on record.
Before you hit the commander in chief, the whole army suppose don wipe naau

Unfortunately I have to agree with you, why only the president when we has tonnes of bodyguards with him. This doesn't add up, and again couple with the news that the son has executed some generals seems another coup d'etat to me.

Someone who was supposed to be the most protected and his position the most garrisoned.

Na inside Job abeg.

Sharpali his son don take over.

Africa eeeee this why West keeps looking down on us.

At late sixties you still dey go form Rambo for battle front.

His son overthrew him? Come on man

Masterito:
Since his was assassinated and his son took over. Are you saying his son assassinated him? What about the military took over to protect his government for his son?

RedDesQ:



More or less the same. Tactless. A leader in this generation must surround himself so strongly that nothing can easily penetrative him

As strong as China and Russia maybe, you don't see Putin or Ji Ping roaming around.

tungamaje:


A leader should not be at the front but MNK is being antagonized every time for leading his organization from London instead of leading from the front here in Nigeria. This smacks of hypocrisy

Must his son overthrew him for it to be a silent coup? Was the son with the dad when it happened?

According to their own constitution, the speaker should be the head of government, not his son or the military, and the only instance where the military takes over, suspends the constitution and democratic rules for 18 months is when there's a coup.

If this is not a coup, the speaker should be in charge.

The son has no choice but to go along with the military arrangement.
