This video grab from a video obtained by AFPTV from Tele Tchad on January 8, 2025 shows Chadian foreign minister and government spokesman Abderaman Koulamallah speaking on state television in N'Djamena. Gunmen attempted to storm the presidential complex in Chad's capital N'Djamena on January 8, 2025, sparking a battle that left 18 attackers and one security personnel member dead, the government said. AFP reporters heard gunfire near the site and saw tanks on the street, while security sources reported that armed men had tried to overrun the complex. The government later said 19 people were killed in the fighting, of which 18 were members of the 24-strong commando unit that launched the assault.
