The CMT junta opposes an end to the impermissibility of the rebels of fact. Their leader Mahamat Mahadi Ali said he was ready for a ceasefire if an inclusive dialogue was launched. On Sunday evening, the spokesman for the Transitional Military Council responded to them via a press release. “It is not time for mediation or negotiation with the lawless,” said General Azem.
The junta refuses to negotiate with the rebels, which it describes as “outlaw” and on the contrary wants to pursue those who have withdrawn to Nigerian territory more than 600 km from Ndjamena, near Nguiguimi and Ngourti. General Azem confirms that what he calls “a column of mercenaries from Libya”, that is, the insurgency in fact, is now being directed after “fierce fighting”.
“Some volatile vehicles fled the battle zone towards the border with Niger. Launched on their heels by the air force, the Defense and Security Forces located the enemy scattered in small groups gathered in the territory of Nigeria between Ngourti, Nguiguimi and the border with Chad. “
The president of the military council then goes further and says that the head of facts is also being prosecuted in Libya. “These refugees, led by Chief Mahadi Ali Mahamat, were wanted for war crimes by the Minister of Justice of Tripoli and whose assets are frozen to finance terrorism, tanks in their anchors in logistics, especially fuel. They are trying to call to their rescue to support them in their criminal operations, several groups of jihadists and traffickers who served as mercenaries in Libya to attack and destabilize Chad.
To conclude, General Azem asks for the support of Chad’s partners, especially Niger, to stop the rebels present on his territory, and finally the members of the G5 Sahel. “Chad calls for cooperation and solidarity from Niger under the various agreements that bind the two brother countries to facilitate the capture and introduction of these war criminals responsible for the deaths of dozens of Chadian soldiers, the first of whom was Marshal du Chad, now based on his territory. . ”
“In the face of this situation, which is jeopardizing Chad and the stability of the whole sub-region, the time is neither for mediation nor for negotiations with the lawless,” General Azem insisted. Therefore, Chad is launching a lively appeal to all G5 Sahel member states for more solidarity, coordination and merging efforts to exclude those who have now assassinated Marshal of Chad and sought security as well as the entire Sahel. ”
