Tchad seeks unity to overcome global and local challenges

Emmanuel Nadingar urges inclusive dialogue for sustainable peace in Chad

The Fédération pour la paix universelle, Chad’s national chapter, held a press briefing on May 23 at its headquarters in Sabangali, N’Djaména’s 3ème arrondissement. Led by former Prime Minister Emmanuel Nadingar, the gathering served as a platform to address escalating global conflicts and Chad’s socio-political tensions.

Nadingar highlighted how resource-driven violence worldwide has intensified divisions, pushing communities to retreat into narrower identities. Within Chad’s borders, he noted significant shifts in the national landscape, though without elaborating further.

The veteran leader underscored the urgent need for unity and collective resilience. In his address, he pleaded for an end to communalism, isolationism, and aggression, stressing that these forces only weaken the nation’s ability to tackle shared adversities.

His call to action centered on fostering genuine, open dialogue as the cornerstone of peace. « Only through listening and collaboration can we harness the strength of our diversity », Nadingar emphasized. He argued that solidarity among all Chadians is essential to confronting the challenges—both foreign and domestic—that threaten stability.

Founded in 2005, the Fédération pour la paix universelle operates across over 190 countries, advocating for peace through grassroots initiatives and interfaith cooperation.
