Chad's president pardons jailed main rival and eight opposition leaders

Chadian President Mahamat Idriss Déby pardoned former prime minister and main opposition leader Succès Masra, along with eight other opposition party leaders. Masra had been serving a 20-year sentence for hate speech, xenophobia and inciting a massacre — a conviction Human Rights Watch described as politically motivated. The announcement on Friday may signal a significant shift in the country's political landscape.
