On Saturday, May 23, 2026, the ONAMA Blue Hall hosted the official unveiling of « The Evolution of Chad’s Parliamentary Life: 1960–2020 », a groundbreaking 612-page work authored by former National Assembly deputy Issa Hassana Adoum.
Meticulously researched over several years, this five-chapter tome offers a rigorous examination of Chad’s parliamentary journey since gaining independence in 1960. It highlights institutional advancements, persistent challenges, key milestones, and transformative shifts that have shaped the nation’s political landscape.
Issa Hassana Adoum emphasized that the book represents a vital academic contribution to understanding Chad’s political and institutional heritage. Designed for scholars, students, policymakers, and future generations, the publication serves as both an educational resource and a reference document for deeper historical insights.
The author revealed that the book originated from his doctoral thesis, later expanded into this comprehensive volume. While written entirely in Arabic, the work has already garnered significant attention, with attendees at the launch urging for a full French translation to broaden accessibility for researchers, students, and general readers interested in Chad’s parliamentary evolution.
The event concluded with a book signing session, where Issa Hassana Adoum personally autographed copies for attendees.
