Dr. Sitack Yombatna: From Struggle to Betrayal — The “Chadian Judas”
By: Joe Le Mutant – Charilogone Editorial TeamThe debate surrounding the role and political trajectory of Dr. Sitack Yombatnan continues to divide public opinion in Chad. Between those who praise his intellect and justify his presence in government, and those who denounce a moral and political reversal, interpretations vary widely. To shed light on this controversy, it is useful to revisit the facts, the choices, and the contradictions perceived by his critics. It is in this perspective that the following analysis is presented.
Contrary to the efforts of some defenders of the Minister of Higher Education, who attempt to restore his image by claiming that his entry into government is justified by his intellect, I would like us to focus on the facts and on the behavior of Dr. Sitack.
He fought against injustice by joining Les Transformateurs, a party that had sworn it was not interested in ministerial positions, except for the speakership. Yet Masra ended up betraying his own ideal by becoming Prime Minister, and Sitack became Secretary of State for Justice, then Minister of Higher Education.
What is striking in Sitack’s behavior is that he left his party precisely when Masra Asyongar was heading toward prison. It is at that moment that he claimed Masra had betrayed him, even though they had been fighting side by side. He is free to leave the party, but joining their oppressor, Kaka, raises an ethical problem.
According to the dictionary, a traitor is someone who makes a pact with the enemy to bring down his friends. This is exactly the case with Sitack Yombatna. It is the same role Judas played — the traitor.
What shocks moral conscience is the fact that he accepted a position offered by the enemy Kaka, the very person who unjustly accused and arrested Masra.
It is said that Sitack is a Protestant pastor, and therefore understands the Bible he preaches in his church, including the passages of the Holy Scriptures about those who betrayed the prophets: Samson, David, Solomon, Jesus…
What bothers me even more is the false silence of Les Transformateurs, who do not dare question Sitack’s morality and simply wish him good luck. Sitack has indeed betrayed you, and I do not see how his behavior could be defined or qualified otherwise.
I am among those who reject this way of doing politics without any concern for morality. In 36 years of MPS rule, this political practice — stabbing one’s friends in the back — has never built Chad, neither economically nor socially. The proof lies in the cases of Kebzabo and Tom Erdimi.
What will he teach students, if not the favorite axiom of Chadian politicians without ideology: “Do as I say, not as I do.” These wise words appear neither in the Bible nor in the Quran. Perhaps in Machiavelli’s The Prince… but for what purpose?
Sitack was among the constitutional experts who drafted the Constitution of the 4th Republic with its fully presidential system. He reportedly refused to participate in the forum on the grounds that the rules established in the founding texts of that Constitution were being violated: term limits, abolition of the prime minister’s office.
He reproached Masra for violating the text when he imposed Bédoumra.
Yet today he becomes the minister of the father of those who violated constitutional texts, Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno, who modified the duration of his mandate and combines the status of party leader and President of the Republic, in blatant violation of the current Constitution, the 5th.
Sacré Sitack!
