Civil society in Chad to stage protest over austerity measures [The Morning Call]

In Chad, a coalition of civil society organizations have called for a peaceful march across the country on Thursday, February 8, 2018. The march, called “Thursday of anger”, aims, according to the groups

to denounce the government’s austerity measures. Chadian government employees have in the past few days seen a drop in their monthly salary due to the new Budget Act 2018, which strips away some

of their bonuses and allowances.
