On May 26, 2026, delegates from Chad’s two main judicial unions, the Syndicat des Magistrats Tchadiens (SMT) and the Syndicat des Agents du Ministère de l’Administration Territoriale (SYAMAT), convened an extraordinary general assembly at the N’Djamena Palace of Justice. The meeting, empowered to shape resolutions over a ten-day period, set the stage for direct engagement with government representatives.

Later that same day, the Prime Minister met with union leaders in the presence of the Minister of Justice and Human Rights, along with the First President of the Supreme Court. In a gesture of reconciliation, the Prime Minister delivered a formal apology on behalf of the government and urged all state institutions to work toward greater cohesion.

The following day, May 27, 2026, the unions held separate and joint discussions with the Minister of Justice and Human Rights, as well as the Minister of Public Security and Immigration—all while the First President of the Supreme Court remained present. These conversations aimed to foster a climate of understanding and collaboration.

During these meetings, the Minister of Public Security also issued a public apology to the judges. The unions acknowledged these gestures and commended the leadership’s commitment to dialogue and peaceful resolution.
