A team from the African Union, AU, has arrived N’Djamena, Chad on a seven-day Fact-Finding Mission to weigh in on the situation in country and scrutinize ways of a speedy return to democratic rule.
The delegation will produce a report at the end of its mission which will enable the Peace and Security Council to adopt a definitive position on the measures to be taken.
Several member countries have called for Chad to be suspended from the AU because of the Transitional Military Council’s takeover of power. Many also estimated that this was a coup d’état, as the country’s Constitution was not respected.
At least six people died on Tuesday in banned protests against the junta, according to the authorities.
