Why Chadians must no longer allow the MPS to rule Chad

One of the most glaring failures of the 2021 military transition remains the attempted refoundation of the MPS (the Patriotic Salvation Movement), which is unfolding before our eyes.
This is a party that has never been able to present an account of its governance after 31 years in power—by the admission of Marshal Idriss Déby Itno himself, who repeatedly complained about the embezzlement of public funds and the corruption system put in place to drain the state’s finances.
According to the collective memory of Chadians, Younousmi alone managed half of the national budget at the time. His Ministry of Infrastructure laid countless foundation stones for the construction of roads, bridges, hospitals, and schools across Chad, with the complicity of a certain Almana, a Kréda by origin, who—thanks to advance payments on public works—was able to refill the party’s coffers.
As a grand patron, he lubricated the entire corruption machine meticulously installed, enjoying the privilege of having a quota in the appointment of ministers in the Marshal’s successive governments.
Meanwhile, Younousmi bought apartments on Avenue Foch in France, in Spain, in Italy, and financed social housing projects for his in-laws in Niamey, Niger. He is said to be a shareholder in an airline company in Niger.
Daoussa Déby, the elder brother, confused the assets of the SNER company with his own pocket. He is reportedly the owner of villas in Italy, where he now lives peacefully after a brief stint as ambassador to Libya until the fall of Muammar Gaddafi.
At the same time, Zène Bada helped himself from the public funds of the capital’s city hall, and Kabadi siphoned off school supplies and inflated contracts at the National Assembly, while refusing to pay the rights of opposition MPs of the time.
Hinda Déby, the model wife of the First Marshal, created her operational NGO, the Grand Cœur Foundation, which managed the budget of the Ministry of Social Action.
Her brothers, the Bourma clan, diverted oil revenues and were cited by Wikileaks as Canadian real estate investors.
In Hinda’s wake, Amina Longoh and many others roam freely within the government of the 5th Republic.
Meanwhile, the troubles of Yaya Dilo Djérou Betchi began the day he dared to call out his cousin Déby, the Marshal, urging him to restrain his wife Hinda, who was taking up too much political and media space. A crime of lèse-majesté—an insult to the First Lady—for this criticism.
Dilo’s mother was killed, and Dilo himself—whose death anniversary is marked today—was taken out and thoroughly “roasted.”
The MPS rose again from its ashes and made Mahamat Kaka the Marshal-President of the MPS, Head of State, and President of the 5th Republic.
As a reward, Kaka erased all their sins of embezzlement and economic crimes before the Eternal! He who, according to the Cassidoh, would be God’s representative in Chad—a divine will, an enlightened guide, entrusted with the supreme mission of shedding the blood of Chadian citizens.
The latest invention of the new secretary, Mahamat Saleh Abdelaziz, is to make MPS membership cards biometric. This is unprecedented, considering that not even the Chinese Communist Party, the Republican Party of Donald Trump, nor the French Socialist Party ever imagined issuing biometric cards outside of driver’s licenses or national ID cards.
Especially when no MPS militant has ever contributed a single franc to the party’s coffers in 31 years.
Oil revenues were methodically diverted to build the city of Amdjarass, whose international airport now serves as a supply base for Hemedti’s Rapid Support Forces in Sudan, according to accusations from General Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan and his government based in Port Sudan, along with their Islamist allies.
The absurd idea behind this initiative would be to enroll the two million Sudanese refugees in the eastern camps, claim they are MPS militants, and then issue them national ID cards and travel documents.
Soon, Amdjarass will have more inhabitants than Mayo-Kebbi, the most populated region of Chad.
The Chadians of 1990 are not those of 2026, and this party-state will lead Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno down the path of ruin. He used it to stay in power by shedding the blood of Chadians.
The MPS is a dying party, led by men of questionable morality.
The real democratic problem—engineered by the National Agency for Election Management—is that the least populated areas of Chad have the most deputies and communes. This is neither fair nor equitable.
In truth, Chad is a country unworthy of belonging to the community of civilized nations.
As proof: no political party that participated in the presidential, legislative, or municipal elections—nor in the constitutional referendum—has ever seen a single official results sheet in their headquarters to this day.
Do not be surprised if a young man born in 1990—now 36 years old, unemployed despite his degree, and witness to the twisted behavior of MPS leaders—ends up joining the rebellions of Korbol, MPRD, FACT, CCMSR, or Mahamat Nour Abdelkérim.
And who, to convince this young man, will promise him a V8, a fuel allowance, and a salary in exchange for informing on behalf of the MPS or the ANS?
Ma ni kalou, walaye ma ni kalou, with their slogan: “The dog barks, the caravan passes.”
