On the contrary, the junta wants to pursue the Chadian rebels who have retreated into Nigerian territory more than 600 km from Ndjamena, near Nguiguimi and Ngourti.

General Azem is determined to hunt them down. And he asks for Niamey's cooperation. “ 

Chad calls for cooperation and solidarity from Niger under the various agreements binding the two brotherly countries in order to facilitate the capture and provision to justice of these war criminals responsible for the death of dozens of Chadian soldiers, the first of whom was Marshal du Tchad, now based on his territory.

Faced with this stuation endangering Chad and the stability of the entire sub-region, the time is neither for mediation nor for negotiation with outlaws,
