African organization assesses situation in Chad

Luanda, Oct 25 (Prensa Latina) The Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS) is examining the internal situation in Chad at a Conference of Heads of State and Government, Angolan sources reported.

The head of Angolan diplomacy, Téte António, arrived early on Tuesday in Kinshasa, capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo, where the analysis will be taking place, headed by the country’s president, Félix Tshisekedi, currently in charge of the ECCAS.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs is participating in the event on behalf of President João Lourenço, according to a statement of the Foreign Ministry, which highlighted the holding of the meeting within the framework of the Central African Peace and Security Council (PSC).

According to the source, the forum will evaluate a report of the transition process in the Republic of Chad.

According to reports from international press agencies, the government of Chad informed of the death of some 80 persons in N’Djamena, the capital, as a result of clashes between law enforcement and demonstrators opposed to the current military junta in power.

The Minister of Communications and spokesman for the Executive, Aziz Mahamat Saleh, declared previously that many were injured during the protests, which he described as an insurrection in the streets.

Late in September, army general Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno remained as president of the transitional government until the holding of general elections, by decision of an official commission.
