Chad's opposition calls for protests

The opposition in Chad has urged the public to turn up on Tuesday for a protest against the military transition council.

The chairman of the Transformateurs party Succès Masra and other members of the Wakit Tama coalition want an inclusive dialogue and transfer of power to civilians.

The military council on Monday appointed a civilian prime minister but the opposition wants a full civilian government.

The coalition members and civil society organisations met on Monday morning, French public radio RFI's website reported.

Chad's President Idriss Deby died on the battlefield and a military council led by his son took over.
