In Chad, the inclusive and sovereign national dialogue suspended last Tuesday for two days by the presidium to allow protesters to return to the discussion table, will not resume until Saturday. Yesterday evening, the president of the presidium appointed an ad hoc committee responsible for facilitating the participation of all components of Chadian society. It has in its ranks most of the sages who had already been trying to mediate for ten days.

It is a committee of 26 members headed by former Prime Minister Nassour Guelengdouksia Ouaiddou, the same who announced the list of members of the presidium on Sunday, causing a crowd in the dialogue room, and the withdrawal of several political organizations and professional corporations.
He will be assisted by the former mayor of Ndjamena, Mahamat Djarma Khatir, Muslim, Catholic and Protestant religious leaders. The latter are part of the group of elders who tried, a few days ago, to obtain a suspension of the dialogue to convince the dissatisfied, who are boycotting the meetings, to come to the room. We also find in this committee officers, negotiators of the Doha agreement and even traditional chiefs.
During the 48 hours that its mission will last, the ad hoc facilitation committee must “ undertake any contact aimed at strengthening the inclusive nature of the inclusive and sovereign national dialogue and maintaining serenity “.
