Former Chadian President Hissen Habre Sentenced to Death for Planning Overthrow

Hissen Habre, former President of Chad, has been sentenced to death for his role in an attempted coup earlier this year.

 

Habre had served eight years as president but was deposed in 1990 following an uprising sparked by current President Idriss Deby. Following the uprising Habre fled to Senegal where he currently lives in exile.

 

It is unlikely Habre, who has been accused of more than 40,000 politically motivated murders, will return to Chad. His death sentence was based on his actions earlier this year in which he led rebels in an attempt to overthrow the government in the capital city of N’Djamena.
