Chad: Activist group indefinitely postpones protest originally slated for March 21 in N'Djamena /update 1

Event

The activist group Federation of the Credible Opposition of Chad (FOC) has postponed a demonstration march originally scheduled for March 21 until further notice. Organizers were demanding the dissolution of the National Commission for the Organization of the Constitutional Referendum (CONOREC), the release of alleged political prisoners, and further requests for the United Nation's Secretary-General to appoint a special envoy to assist in mediation talks to resolve the country's political challenges. Activists may organize new protest campaigns with little-to-no notice should authorities grant authorization for a march.
