Grief and anger in Chad over army’s deadly protest crackdown Al Jazeera Staff Ndjamena, Chad – Surrounded by other mourning women, Grace Garandi breaks down in loud, uncontrollable sobs. Her 17-year-old brother, Sinna, is one of at least five people killed in Chad during protests this week against the military’s takeover in the wake of longtime President Idriss Deby’s sudden death some 10 days ago. The teenager’s family says he was only a spectator watching a confrontation between protesters and security forces in the capital, Ndjamena. “Shots rang out. A bullet broke his arm and then it went through his stomach. As he fell, gas canisters were also fired into the crowds. He was rushed to hospital, that’s where he died,” says Garandi, crouching on the floor at the family home.
