Chad's President Idriss
Deby was sworn in for a fifth term on Monday, August 8th, 2016.
An opposition coalition had called for
people to stay at home, describing it as a national day of mourning.
It
does not recognize the election result, saying the poll was rigged.
Mr
Deby seized power in 1990 and has been in office ever since.
His
swearing in ceremony was attended by several African presidents and the French
defence minister.
Mr Deby has been able to obtain foreign support by presenting himself as a force for stability in the region.
