Hissène Habré - Le Pinochet africain

Former Chadian dictator Hissène Habré is accused of mass atrocities, including torture, and 40,000 deaths during his reign from 1982 to 1990. The documentary follows the decade-long fight of Reed Brody and survivors to bring Habré to justice in Senegal. Key evidence includes DDS police records, mass graves, and chilling witness accounts. Despite international support and legal advances, political resistance and financial delays hamper justice. Habré lives freely in Dakar, protected by his allies. The film highlights the difficulty of prosecuting dictators in Africa and the persistence of victims in demanding accountability.
