On May 26, 2026, Chad’s two magistrates’ unions—SMT and SYAMAT—convened an extraordinary general meeting at the Palais de Justice in N’Djamena. Delegates were tasked with implementing resolutions over a ten-day period following the gathering.

Later that same day, the Prime Minister of Chad met with union representatives, joined by the Minister of Justice and Human Rights and the First President of the Supreme Court. During this meeting, the Prime Minister extended a formal apology on behalf of the government and emphasized the need for stronger institutional cohesion across state bodies.

The following day, May 27, the unions held separate discussions with the Minister of Justice and Human Rights, followed by a joint session with the Minister of Public Security and Immigration. The First President of the Supreme Court was present throughout these exchanges, which aimed to foster a peaceful and mutually agreeable resolution.

The Minister of Public Security also issued a formal apology to the magistrates. The unions acknowledged these gestures and praised the ongoing commitment to dialogue and peace demonstrated by the officials involved.
