Unpacking the political crisis in Chad and Somalia: Dr. Charles Sinkala

The peace and security council of the African Union is meeting today to discuss the political crises in Chad and Somalia. It comes just a day after opposition politicians in Chad rejected the country's army appointment of President Idriss Déby's son to take over in the wake of his death. Déby,
68 - who had been in power for three decades - died after being shot as he battled rebels on the frontline. Chad is seen as an important country to the international efforts to combat militants in Africa. Meanwhile, Somalia is also facing a constitutional crisis following an electoral impasse of presidential and parliamentary elections. Last week, Somalia's President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed, controversially approved an extension of his term in office by two years as voted for by parliament. We are joined by Africa and international Relations expert Dr. Charles Sinkala to discuss this further.
