Significance
The authorities arrested Wakit Tama leaders and two lawyers, prompting a strike from the bar association. The aftermath of the protest has made negotiations between the junta and various rebel groups, some of whom object to the treatment of Wakit Tama, more fraught.
Impacts
Chad seeks to calm escalating tensions between France and Mali, without alienating Mali completely.
Wakit Tama has little reach beyond the capital, but there are other challenges elsewhere, such as farmer-herder tensions in the east.
Tensions with Wakit Tama are likely to push the eventual date for the national dialogue back even further.
