Recent news in Chad focuses on ongoing talks for the return of Succès Masra, a political opponent in exile since the violent repression of protests on October 20, 2022. Since October 27, Succès Masra has been in Kinshasa, where he must meet Congolese President Félix Tshisekedi, appointed facilitator by the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS) to resolve the crisis.
After working with Succès Masra for a whole weekend, the Congolese facilitation received a Chadian government delegation in Kinshasa on Sunday October 29. This delegation included important members of the Chadian government, such as the Minister of Reconciliation, Abderaman Koulamallah, and the Minister of Communication, Aziz Mahamat Saleh.
The aim of this meeting was to organize a face-to-face meeting between the opponent and the government delegation, scheduled for Tuesday, in the presence of Congolese President Félix Tshisekedi. According to a source close to the government, this is a decisive step and it is said in Kinshasa that we have never been so close to an agreement.
However, it is important to note that the international arrest warrant issued against Succès Masra continues to constitute the main obstacle to his return. Lawyers for his party, Les Transformateurs, dispute the legality of this arrest warrant and this remains a key issue to be resolved.
In this delicate situation, it is essential to closely follow the developments taking place in Chad and to stay informed of developments in the ongoing talks. The return of Succès Masra could have a significant impact on the political situation in the country and this deserves our full attention.
