By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on Alwihda Info
The Association for Well-being and Community Development in Chad has denounced plot allocations it considers irregular in Ngonba, in N’Djamena’s Walia neighbourhood, and the resumption of work on land reserved for a public health centre. At a press briefing on 31 October 2026, its coordinator Bahyaba Mbellet Samson referred to a dispute lasting more than eight years, according to Alwihda Info.
The Association for Well-being and Community Development in Chad (ABEDEC-TCHAD) has accused officials of irregularly allocating plots in the Ngonba neighbourhood of N’Djamena and warned of the resumption of work on land reserved for a public health centre. Its national coordinator, Bahyaba Mbellet Samson, made the allegations at a press briefing on 31 October 2026 at the Walia Youth Centre, according to Alwihda Info.
The association is challenging, in particular, a report dated 25 March 2018, which it considers to have been drawn up by a fictitious commission, as well as the division of plots carried out on 27 February 2017 by officials from the Ministry of Regional Planning and Urban Development, the central town hall and the municipality of the 9th arrondissement. It says these operations did not comply with the 2008 decree governing the allocation of land in urban areas, Alwihda Info reports.
The Ngonba health centre was officially established on 20 September 2016, but its operation is reportedly being prevented by the lack of access to the land made available by a private individual. ABEDEC also alleges that some beneficiaries obtained land documents through private agreements and says appeals by affected owners have not succeeded, according to Alwihda Info.
