On 8 January 2025, an attack was carried out against the presidential palace in the Chadian capital N'Djamena by unidentified attackers.[2][3][4] The 24 attackers attempted to gain entry through a security gate of the presidential palace before being confronted by security forces. Chadian President Mahamat Déby was inside the presidential palace at the time, and he later released a statement saying he believed he was the target of the attack.[5] A total of 19 people were killed in the attack, including 18 attackers and one soldiers.[6]
The attack was described by the Minister of Foreign Affairs as an "attempt at destabilization".[7] However, he denied it was a terrorist attack, and described the attackers as disorganized bandits.[5] An investigation by the government has been launched into the motivations of the attackers and their affiliations, however sources report that it was carried out by Jihadist group Boko Haram.[8] The country has faced an insurgency by Boko Haram since 2014.
