Chad lifts ban on social media usage after more than a year


Access to social media had been blocked since March last year.

Chad lifted a more than a year-long ban on social media including Facebook and Twitter that the government said had been necessary for security reasons.

The announcement was made by president Idriss Deby at a conference about digital technology in the capital, N’Djamena.
