On May 27, 2026, a pivotal meeting convened at the Ministry of Justice in N’Djamena to address rising tensions between judicial officials and the Minister of Public Security and Immigration. The gathering included key figures such as Justice Minister Ndolenodji Alixe Naimbaye and Security Minister Ali Ahmat Aghabache.

The Justice Minister emphasized the necessity of inter-institutional dialogue and preserving a calm environment. The Security Minister clarified that his earlier remarks—delivered during a discussion on public land occupation—had been distorted through manipulated video clips. He clarified that his comments were never intended to undermine the judiciary and expressed regret over the misrepresentation of his statements.

Union representatives raised concerns, arguing that the minister’s words undermined judicial independence. While acknowledging the government’s and minister’s apologies, they insisted on further clarity regarding certain ambiguous phrases in the statements.

The Security Minister acknowledged potential confusion in his wording and pledged to issue a more precise public apology. The First President of the Supreme Court stressed the importance of institutional dialogue to uphold judicial stability and public trust in the legal system.

Participants agreed to refine the apology statement and release a joint communiqué outlining steps to restore harmony. The session concluded with a renewed commitment to collaboration and mutual understanding.
