calm Friday after president Idriss Deby was declared winner of an election the
opposition said was marred by widespread fraud.
Deby won 61.56
percent of the vote in the April 10 presidential election, followed by the
opposition’s Saleh Kebzabo, who garnered 12.8 percent, according to provisional
results released by the national election commission Thursday.

presidential palace.
