Chad: Banging pots and pans to end charcoal ban

N'DJAMENA: On 23 January in some Chadian cities day broke with the sound of citizens banging together pots and pans. Prohibited by the authorities from demonstrating in the streets, Chadians banged their utensils from inside their homes to protest the government's ban on charcoal.

The ban has people in a panic, burning roots, furniture and anything they can find in order to boil water and cook.

“Since we cannot go out into the streets, we hope everyone will join us in this - tap, tap, tap!” Larlem Marie, co-ordinator of the Chadian Fundamental Liberties Association, told IRIN.
