A reconciliation agreement has been signed between the Ngambaye and Foulbé communities in Chad, marking a significant turning point after violent clashes erupted between the two groups earlier this year.
General Mbaiomdénande Dionadji Alain, head of the senatorial mission, announced the breakthrough during a press conference held on July 6.
The peace accord, signed on July 5 in Manda, follows the tragic events of May 14 and aims to restore harmony and stability in the region.
“This agreement marks a significant step toward reconciliation and the establishment of lasting peace in the locality,” General Dionadji stated, underlining the importance of cooperation among all stakeholders.
The general urged administrative leaders, the Provincial Council, and the country’s security and law enforcement agencies to remain vigilant in maintaining the fragile peace.
He stressed the urgent need to create a joint monitoring committee, which he described as crucial for coordinating humanitarian assistance and ensuring long-term stability in the area.
General Dionadji also called for unity in mobilizing resources and delivering immediate support to communities affected by the conflict.
“I count on everyone’s support and commitment to mobilize resources and initiate actions to meet the urgent needs of the affected population,” he said.
The signing of this reconciliation accord is being hailed as a milestone in community conflict resolution efforts across Chad.
Local leaders hope it will serve as a model for resolving intercommunal tensions elsewhere in the country.
The violence on May 14 left a deep scar in the region, displacing families and raising fears of prolonged instability.
With the new agreement in place, hopes are now pinned on sustained dialogue, cooperation, and the effective implementation of peace-building measures.
