Chadian presidential pardon welcomed as step toward political reconciliation
The RNDT-Le Réveil party praised the issuance of the presidential pardon decree on August 14, 2026, calling it a promising move toward political openness and national calm in Chad.
The RNDT-Le Réveil party has expressed strong approval for the August 14, 2026 decree granting presidential clemency to multiple detainees, including political figures. This action follows President Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno’s announcement on August 11 and aligns with the call for national de-escalation made by party leader Pahimi Padacké Albert on August 8.
In an official statement, the party hailed the move as “upholding public commitment” and a constructive step toward fostering political openness in Chad. The RNDT-Le Réveil now urges the Head of State to sustain this momentum by initiating inclusive dialogues with all key stakeholders across the nation. The party reaffirms its readiness to engage in building a united Chad, emphasizing that diverse perspectives are a vital asset for the country’s progress.
