ALBAWABA- Deadly clashes have erupted in Chad's capital, N'Djamena, with conflicting reports from the government and an opposition party, the Borderless Socialist Party. 

The violence near the Chadian Internal Security Agency's headquarters has resulted in multiple casualties, with the government attributing the unrest to an attack by Borderless Socialist Party representatives led by party leader Yahya Delo, while the opposition denies involvement.
