In Chad, more then 450 rebels have gone on trial in connection with the death of President Idriss Déby.
He was killed in April 2021 whilst fighting a rebel offensive launched from Libya.
The hearing is taking place inside a prison where almost 400 of the accused are being held.
Believed to be all members of the rebel Front for Change and Consensus in Chad, they’ve been charged with terrorism and threatening the security of the state.
After the reading of the charges, the court adjourned until Wednesday.
