General Issaka Malloua Djamouss, Chad’s Minister of Armies, War Veterans, and Victims of War, recently arrived in Sarh, the provincial capital of Moyen-Chari. His visit marks a critical working mission focused on evaluating and enhancing regional security.
Upon his arrival at Sarh airport, the Minister was greeted by Abderaman Ahmat Bargou, the Government Delegate for Moyen-Chari province. This reception included key administrative and military officials, alongside leaders from the defense and security forces.
The core objective of this mission is to engage with provincial military leaders, conduct a thorough assessment of the security landscape, and galvanize ongoing initiatives aimed at safeguarding both residents and their assets.
During the inspection, officials showcased a substantial cache of 247 weapons to Minister Djamouss. This impressive collection, comprising both sophisticated military-grade firearms and locally manufactured artisanal weapons, was successfully recovered from civilians. These disarmament operations were executed over recent weeks by Chad’s defense and security forces, notably supported by the Chad-Central African Republic Joint Force.
Government Delegate Abderaman Ahmat Bargou reiterated the province’s ambitious goal: to achieve “Zero weapons in civilian hands” by 2026 and 2027. He commended the dedicated efforts of the forces actively involved in this crucial disarmament campaign.
Observing the significant volume of seized arms, Minister Issaka Malloua Djamouss extended his congratulations to the various defense and security forces for their unwavering commitment. He further urged provincial authorities to persist in their endeavors to ensure lasting peace and stability throughout Moyen-Chari.
Throughout his stay in Sarh, the Minister is scheduled to conduct a series of working sessions with military and security leaders. These meetings aim to thoroughly assess current challenges and establish new strategic directives for bolstering security across the entire Moyen-Chari province.
