Taking a swipe of former Chadian leader, Idris Deby Itno, Zane Congy alleged that contrary to wide beliefs, Mr Deby is a monstrous brutal dictator who was never a source of stability to the region and its neighbors.

” Deby is not a source of stability as widely seen, he was kept there by France due to there vested interest in the region.”

“Even little children when given an opportunity will do better than Deby. Criminals will feel a sense of responsibility than Deby,” he said.
