N'DJAMENA, CHAD - Chad's military rulers named a new government on Sunday after the battlefield death of President Idriss Deby, but leading opposition figures rejected the appointments as a continuation of an old order they hoped to erase.

Deby's death last month on the front lines in a fight against northern rebels ended his 30-year rule and sparked a crisis in the Central African country that has long been an ally in the West's fight against jihadis in the region.
