On 8 January 2025, an attack was carried out against the presidential palace, known as the Pink Palace, in the Chadian capital N'Djamena by unknown attackers.[2][3][4] The 24 attackers attempted to gain entry through a security gate of the presidential palace before being confronted by security forces. Chadian President Mahamat Déby was inside the presidential palace at the time, and he later released a thanking guards for thwarting the attack.[5] A total of 20 people were killed in the attack, of which 18 were attackers and two were presidential guards.[6][7]
The attack was described by the Minister of Foreign Affairs as an "attempt at destabilization".[8] However, he denied it was a terrorist attack, and described the attackers as disorganized bandits.[9] An investigation by the government has been launched into the motivations of the attackers and their affiliations; however, sources report that it was carried out by Jihadist group Boko Haram.[10] The country has faced an insurgency by Boko Haram since 2014. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.[11] Other analysts however, disagreed with this.[6]
