TCHAD EST
— English: Eastern Chad.
— Status: Not democratic.
— Assessment: An uncentralized rebellion against dictator Idriss Déby, which enjoys autonomy in parts of the rural east and has successfully taken, though generally not held, numerous towns. It entered نجامينا « Niĝāmīnā » in 2006 and reached as far as the presidential palace in 2008, defeated in both cases, partially with outside support of Déby. A major rebel group made peace in 2010.
