Chadian activist Ibrahim Congy has called on Nigeria to help Chad avoid genocide.

Mr Congy said Nigeria’s support was needed to restore peace and democratic government in Chad.

He said this while addressing a news conference in Kaduna.

According to him, Chad is moving in the direction of civil war.

“What is happening in Chad now is similar to what happened in Rwanda and Sierra Leone, where certain powers are investing on how to set fire and bring civil war,” the activist pointed out.

He called on “responsible and civilised” nations, agencies, and governments within the region and across the world to come to Chad’s rescue.

“Chadians are in a very precarious situation before we get into genocide help us to safeguard our country,” he said.

According to him, the present military regime in Chad is unconstitutional.

“The constitution says president of the National Assembly should be taken from a transitional government from 45 to 90 days to organise a free, fair, and credible election.

”But this did not happen. The constitution was bypassed, so the activities are unconstitutional,” he said.

The activist lamented over happenings in Chad which included the social division of 15 million people with 250 ethnics groups, “but the minority groups are always on top due to power influence.”

He, however, said Chadians were united people working to safeguard their nation.
