Former Chadian PM sentenced to 20 years in prison
YAOUNDE, Aug 10, (Xinhua): Former Chadian Prime Minister Succes Masra was sentenced to 20 years in prison by a criminal court on Saturday in the capital N'Djamena. Masra was found guilty of inciting the public to hatred and hostility, according to the ruling handed down by Chad's criminal court. Masra's lawyers called the verdict "an ignominy" and said they will appeal. Masra was arrested in May after a government probe alleged that he incited people to violence, which led to the death of 42 people in clashes in Mandakao village in the southwestern province of Logone Occidental. Masra, president of the opposition political party The Transformers, went into exile in 2022 but later returned and was appointed prime minister by President Mahamat Idriss Deby Itno.
