Tensions are escalating among disabled individuals working along the N'Gueli-Kousseri axis in Chad. Despite the enrolment and identification process announced by the Ministry of Social Action, Solidarity, and Humanitarian Affairs, in collaboration with ANATS, being launched two months ago, the concerned parties are denouncing the lack of tangible results.
The coordinator of the disabled persons' platform, Ali Oussingpedé Justin, has called on authorities to move beyond promises and take concrete actions. He emphasized that the time for promises has passed and that the authorities' commitments must now be materialized. Justin's statements were made in an interview with Salam Infos.
The disabled community plans to increase pressure on the authorities if their demands are not met. Justin announced that if they do not receive satisfactory responses by Tuesday, they will take further action, including visiting the Ministry of Social Action to seek clarification on their situation. However, he stressed that their actions are not aimed at seeking the resignation of the authorities.
According to Justin, the disabled community is seeking concrete responses and measures regarding their situation, not the departure of top officials. He expressed frustration with the treatment of disabled persons in Chad, describing it as inadequate and in need of improvement. Justin also highlighted the need for greater consideration and protection for this segment of the population.
Justin's criticism of the current situation was stark, comparing the treatment of disabled persons unfavorably to that of animals. He stated that in Chad, even animals receive more protection than disabled persons. This sentiment underscores the depth of frustration and disappointment within the disabled community.
The Ministry of Social Action, Solidarity, and Humanitarian Affairs, in collaboration with ANATS, had initiated an enrolment and identification process for disabled persons. However, two months on, the disabled community reports a lack of progress. This perceived inaction has fueled tensions and prompted calls for more decisive action from the authorities.
The situation remains unresolved, with the disabled community preparing to take further action. Ali Oussingpedé Justin and other representatives are advocating for their rights and seeking tangible improvements in their living conditions. The authorities face mounting pressure to address these concerns and provide concrete solutions to the challenges faced by disabled persons in Chad.
