On May 26, 2026, representatives from Chad’s two major judges’ unions, the Syndicat des Magistrats Tchadiens (SMT) and the Syndicat Autonome des Magistrats Tchadiens (SYAMAT), convened an extraordinary general assembly at the N’Djamena Palace of Justice. The delegates were tasked with overseeing the implementation of resolutions over a ten-day period following the meeting.

Later that day, the Prime Minister met with the unions’ representatives alongside the Minister of Justice and Human Rights and the First President of the Supreme Court. The Prime Minister delivered a formal apology on behalf of the government and emphasized the importance of strengthening cohesion among state institutions.

The following day, May 27, 2026, the unions engaged in separate discussions with the Minister of Justice and Human Rights, followed by joint talks with the Minister of Public Security and Immigration—all under the watchful eye of the First President of the Supreme Court. These conversations aimed to foster a peaceful and mutually agreeable resolution.

The Minister of Public Security also reiterated the government’s official apology to the judges. The unions acknowledged these gestures and praised the commitment to dialogue and peace demonstrated by the officials involved.
