In a decisive move to restore harmony in southern Chad, Prime Minister Allah Maye Halina convened a critical working meeting on July 8, 2025, with leaders from the Peulh and Ngambaye communities involved in the Mandakao conflict.
The violent clashes that erupted on May 14 in Logone Occidental had left families mourning and communities deeply divided.
The meeting focused on the restitution of a mission led by the Secretary General of the Prime Minister’s Office and included the formal submission of a peace agreement protocol, signed by representatives of both communities, to the Prime Minister by the head of the mission, MP Mbaihomdenade Dionadji Alain.
Earlier, on July 5, a reconciliation agreement was reached between the Peulh and Ngambaye leaders.
This accord, supported wholeheartedly by the government, seeks to forge lasting peace not only in Mandakao but also in the neighboring Mayo-Kebbi Ouest region.
To oversee the implementation of the agreement, an awakening committee was established, comprising leaders from both communities.
Its mandate is to ensure that the terms of the protocol translate into durable peace and mutual understanding between the sister communities.
Commending the responsible leadership demonstrated by the involved parties, Prime Minister Halina praised their impartiality and dedication.
“The Fulani and Ngambaye leaders have just written a page of history. May this peace agreement be written not on paper, but in everyone’s hearts,” he declared.
Reaffirming the government’s unwavering commitment, the Prime Minister vowed to take all necessary measures to prevent the recurrence of such conflicts.
The formal handover of the signed peace protocol marks a hopeful turning point toward reconciliation and stability in a region long troubled by ethnic tensions.
This milestone underscores Chad’s broader pursuit of national unity through dialogue and cooperative conflict resolution.
