Talk:Idriss Déby

message: The article says 'upcoming May 3 elections': I type this on May 5. What drew my attention to it was the BBC article:

Perhaps an update is in order. laddiebuck 21:54, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

message: The facts of the EgyptToday article are more or less the same as other sources (that Déby died as a result of injuries sustained in battle with rebels), but they're the only source I could find that used the word "assassination" to describe this. Here are a few others:
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-56815708
https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/20/africa/president-deby-killed-frontline-intl/index.html
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/chad-president-idriss-deby-dies-frontline-son-take-over-army-n1264613
Calling this an assassination doesn't seem factually correct, and it also seems to violate WP:NPOV - the neutral description would seem to be something like "died as a result of gunshot wounds sustained in battle". That said, I don't know much about this conflict (in particular, the forces involved), so I didn't want to make this change myself. Juansmith (talk) 15:56, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

message: who was a President of Chad from 1990 until his death by militant forces when commanding troops on the front in 2021
This sentence is grammatically incorrect! What is it we're trying to say here?? Aspenkiddo (talk) 13:27, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
