The German Embassy in Chad regrets the sidelining of Mahamat Nour Ibedou at the Cndh

In a statement to the press, the Charge d’Affaires of the Federal Republic of Germany in N’Djamena, Günter Overfeld, spoke out following the replacement of Mahamat Nour Ibedou at the National Human Rights Commission (Cndh).

The German diplomat regrets this change. “It is with the greatest regret that I became aware of the change in the leadership of the Cndh this weekend. President Ibedou has proven himself as a dedicated Chadian patriot with a strong commitment to the implementation and protection of human rights, a key element of every democratic development. His great integrity and dedication have given credibility to the work of the Cndh, and to civil society and all those involved in the defense of human rights encouragement and motivation,” said Ambassador Günter Overfeld.

He believes that expectations are high. He hopes that the new leadership will follow Ibedou’s “courageous and independent path” for the protection of human rights in Chad.
