Two senior Chadian officials resign after sex tapes leak

Chad’s defence minister and the government’s general secretary resigned on Wednesday, an administration spokesman said, after two separate sex tapes purporting to show the men were shared widely on social media.

Prime Minister Saleh Kebzabo accepted the resignations of defence minister Daoud Yaya Brahim and the government’s general secretary Haliki Choua Mahamat, Kebzabo’s spokesman said in a statement, without giving further details.

The videos, which were circulated on Sunday and Monday, purportedly showed the men engaging in intimate acts with other people.

Sex scandals are rare in Chad, a mostly Muslim country with conservative social mores.
