The 2006 Chadian coup d'état attempt was an attempted coup d'état against Chadian President Idriss Déby that was foiled on the night of March 14, 2006. ==Plot== The coup involved members of the Chadian military, led by brothers Tom and Timane Erdimi, two high-ranking officers who had tried to overthrow Déby in 2004, and former General Seby Aguid. Minister of Communications and Culture, and Spokesperson for the Government Hourmadji Moussa Doumngor said that the Erdimi brothers were captured, while other rebel soldiers fled. Security Minister Routouang Yoma Golom told reporters, "There are around 100 members of the military implicated in this coup who have been arrested. They will be brought to trial. ... The situation is totally under control and calm has returned. The head of state has personally gone several times to military camps to restore order."〔Betel Miarom, ("Chad detains dozens after coup attempt" ), Reuters (''IOL''), March 21, 2006.〕 Golom said a military court will sentence them over the next one to two months while other plotters are sought in eastern Chad. "People close to the Erdimi twins and General Seby Aguid wanted to take advantage of President Deby's absence while he was in Equatorial Guinea, to undermine the institutions of the republic," said a source close to Deby who asked to remain anonymous.〔 (Link dead as of 15 January 2007)〕 Déby’s plane was departing from Bata, Equatorial Guinea, where he was attending a CEMAC summit with other central African leaders, and was destined for N'Djamena, Chad. According to Doumngor, the rebel soldiers fled in seven vehicles after soldiers loyal to the President foiled their attempt. Two of the vehicles were stopped and "their occupants neutralized". The remaining vehicles fled into the eastern part of the country while pursued by Chadian forces. Doumngor also stated that those who organised the coup were former military or civilian government officials living in Burkina Faso, Cameroon, the Sudan, and the United States.〔Dany Danzoumbe, ("Coup attempt foiled in Chad - officials" ), Reuters (''IOL''), March 16, 2006.〕 There were also reports that on March 14 and March 15 N'Djamena’s two mobile phone networks were shut down. The government usually interferes with communications during security operations.〔 (Link dead as of 15 January 2007)〕 Chadian rebels said that they would attempt to block the May 3 election. Doumgor responded in saying the elections will not be postponed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2006 Chadian coup d'état attempt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
