CHADIAN JUSTICE: The Trial of General Abdoulaye Miskine Postponed to 26 August 2026
The highly anticipated trial of General Abdoulaye Miskine, whose real name is Martin Koumtamadji, has been officially postponed to 26 August 2026 by the First Criminal Chamber of the High Court of N’Djamena. This postponement comes in a case involving a collective of ten lawyers, assembled to defend him after nearly seven years of detention without trial at the Klessoum prison.Case 093/22 also concerns Adoum Rakhis, Ringo Djouma, and Abdel‑Aziz Gros, with the Chadian State acting as civil party.
The defendants are accused of insurrectional activities, kidnappings, unlawful detentions, severe abuse, assassinations, rape, and extortion in the border area between Chad and the Central African Republic.
The defense has been warning for months about Miskine’s deteriorating health, including kidney failure, hypertension, and significant weight loss.
This trial is being closely followed beyond Chad’s borders.
In the Central African Republic, the population is watching this historic moment attentively. Several local media outlets are reporting on the event continuously, and surveys indicate that many Central Africans are demanding justice in a case marked by a contested timeline and numerous grey areas, particularly concerning the years 2003 and 2006.
The defendants remain presumed innocent until a final judicial decision is issued.
