Chad’s democratic opposition is calling for an immediate halt to fighting in Miski, in Tibesti Province, and urging the government to prioritise dialogue, according to a joint statement issued in N’Djamena. It expressed concern over the resurgence of violence and tensions in the locality.

The signatories called for an independent fact-finding mechanism to establish the circumstances surrounding the recent violence. They said government opacity was fuelling rumours and called for respect for the peace agreement concluded on 20 April 2025 between the government and the Self-Defence Committee.

The opposition also called for inclusive dialogue, notably through the Permanent Framework for Political Dialogue (CPDP), rather than armed confrontation. The statement comes after an attack on the Mining Brigade in Miski that left two people dead and nine injured on 15 October, according to the toll from the attack.
