During their meeting, the members of the Peace and Security Council examined the report of the African Union’s Panel of the Wise, which, led by former Burundian President Donatien Ndayizeye, visited Ndjamena in mid-March.
The CPS believes that we must continue to ” to accompany » Chad. So he says ” take note » of the extension of the transition for 24 months for « sustain » the implementation of the recommendations of the inclusive and sovereign national dialogue (DNIS), while asking « a clear roadmap, with a precise timetable “, and an ” inclusive political transition, especially with regard to the drafting of a new Constitution and the choice of the form of the State “.
Furthermore, the council reiterates » his position expressed in May 2021: « members of the transitional authorities should not take part in the elections scheduled “, he writes.
The government has not yet officially reacted, but one of its executives points out a ” contradiction “. ” We cannot rely on the dialogue and add points that were not in its recommendations “he estimates. ” The council goes beyond the framework of its action by entering into questions of sovereignty “Adds this high-ranking source.
