Chad: Students striking at university in Abeche, Ouaddai Region, July 18-20

Event

Students at the Institut Nationale des Sciences et Technique d'Abeche (INSTA) university in Abeche, Ouaddai Region, are striking July 18-20 over several grievances. It is unclear how many people are adhering to the work stoppage. Although no protests have been announced or reported yet, some may occur. Participants may picket in front of the INSTA building, obstructing road traffic.

Police will likely deploy to monitor any strike-related demonstrations that may materialize. Clashes with security forces cannot be ruled out if protesters are overly disruptive.

Advice

As a precaution, avoid all possible demonstrations and areas where security forces appear to be deploying. If crowds form, leave the area immediately.
