What happened
The Federation of Trade Unions of Chad, UST, called for an indefinite general strike starting March 11, 2024. This action followed a widely supported general strike that lasted for a month, beginning February 20, 2024. The protests were sparked by the military government increasing the price of fuel by 40% and failing to implement agreed-upon actions from a three-year social pact.
