Brahim Déby

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brahim Déby is the son of current Chadian President Idriss Déby. In 2005 his father met with him, unknown to the rest of their family at the time, and told Brahim he was his heir apparent.

Many suspect he could run for President to succeed his father in 2011. [1]

On May 24, 2006, Brahim Déby was arrested outside a Paris nightclub after getting involved in a brawl. During the fight, an unlicensed semi-automatic pistol fell from his pocket. Police later searched his house and found 375 grams of marijuana. On June 3, 2006, Brahim Déby was given a six-month suspended sentence for drugs and arms possession. [2]
