The Mediation Office of the Republic of Chad has issued a statement denying rumors of the resignation of Saleh Kebzabo, the Mediator of the Republic. The rumors, which circulated on social media, claimed that Kebzabo had resigned due to difficulties related to the office's operational resources. However, the Mediation Office asserts that these claims are unfounded and do not reflect the actual situation.
According to the Mediation Office, the controversy began with a roundtable discussion held on September 21, 2026, to mark the International Day of Peace. During the discussion, Kebzabo was questioned about the resources available to the Mediation Office to carry out its mandate. He acknowledged the constraints faced by the institution, stating that no institution has the means to fulfill its mission.
Kebzabo also praised the efforts of the Prime Minister to address the needs of various state services. He noted that, given the country's numerous priorities, the Mediation Office could not be considered a priority institution that should receive all the necessary resources to function effectively. The Mediation Office emphasizes that Kebzabo's comments were focused on the material and financial constraints faced by the institution.
The Mediation Office has expressed concern over the spread of misinformation regarding the functioning of institutions and public figures. They have called for greater caution in disseminating information and stressed the importance of relying on verifiable facts. The office reaffirms its commitment to continuing its mission with the available resources, despite the challenges faced by the state.
The Mediation Office also denounces a publication that, according to them, went beyond the initial idea and strayed from Kebzabo's actual statements. They assert that Kebzabo's comments were taken out of context and do not constitute an announcement of resignation. The office is dedicated to preventing and resolving disputes peacefully.
Saleh Kebzabo remains fully committed to his role as Mediator of the Republic, serving the state and promoting peace. The Mediation Office is working to ensure that its mission is carried out effectively, despite the constraints. The office appreciates the efforts of the government to address the challenges faced by institutions.
