Chad’s presidential candidate Succès Masra: opposition leader or secret government ally?

Ten candidates are in the running for Chad’s May 6 presidential election, but the race is dominated by the two frontrunners: General Mahamat Idriss Déby, who is currently serving as transitional president, and Prime Minister Succès Masra. Once a leading opposition figure, Masra has come under fire from other critics of the regime, who suspect him of striking a secret deal with Déby’s government.
