(Bloomberg) Chad President Idriss Deby won a sixth mandate in polls marred by an opposition boycott and a rebel advance on the capital.
Deby, 68, secured 79% of the vote in the April 11 poll, Kodi Mahamat Bam, president of the Independent National Election Commission, said in NâDjamena on Monday. Albert Pahimi Padacke, who served on many of Debyâs cabinets, got 10%. Voter turnout was almost two-thirds of those eligible.
The president was meant to face nine opposition candidates after the Supreme Court barred seven others. Three of those remaining later quit the race, including the main opposition leader, Saleh Kebzabo, who withdrew after a deadly shootout at another candidateâs home in late February.

Three Cities Switching To Life-Affirming Economies

The city of Portland, Oregon, prides itself on being ahead of the curve. In 1993, it became the first U.S. city to adopt a climate action plan, which now calls for cutting carbon emissions by 50% by 2030, and to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Portland also has long been a leader in progressive urban planning strategies, and since 2006 has been a member of C40, an international network of cities seeking innovative ways to reduce emissions.
Mozambique attack: Oil and gas held promise, what went wrong?
The Liquified National Gas (LNG) LNG projects in the northern Cabo Delgado area of Mozambique represented a silver lining of hope.
Recent events in Palma, a town in the volatile Cabo Delgado province in the north of Mozambique, have taken bloodshed in the region to new levels. Dozens of people were killed when hundreds of Islamist militants stormed the town on Wednesday, 25 March. They targeted shops, banks and a military barracks.
The attack has been devastating for the people living in the area – as well as the country. The escalating violence has already left at least a thousand dead and displaced hundreds of thousands more.
