The protest in Chad has gone violent with two people killed in the process.
N’Djamena sky Tuesday was filled with smoke as protesters burnt tyres and French flags.
Their rallying cry is the dissolution of the transitional military council.
They are also calling for an inclusive dialogue that should result in free, fair and transparent elections.
The military junta has opted to use force.
Several people said they saw riot police and elements of the presidential guard in the neighbourhoods. They entered houses in search of possible demonstrators.
According to report, a man and a woman were shot amidst the said protest.
The man was shot dead in Moundou, in southern Chad, according to media reports, amid protests against the country’s ruling military council.
A woman has also died in the capital N’Djamena, a prosecutor has been quoted as saying.
She was in a bus that was attacked by protesters, according to N’Djamena prosecutor Youssouf Tom.
The opposition coalition called for the demonstration despite a ban on protests
Internet cut in Chad and French flag burnt
The internet has also been cut off to limit the flow of information.
The rising tensions amplify fears that Chad could descend irretrievably into chaos.
The country is also facing a rebel incursion to the north, with rebel group, the Front for Alternation and Concord in Chad fighting to overthrow the military junta.
The rebels recently offered to dialogue, an offer rejected by the ruling military council.
