« This government decision is motivated by the discourteous attitude and the non-respect of diplomatic practices as prescribed by the Vienna Convention. “, Can we read in the government press release, which gives Jan Christian Gordon Kricke 48 hours to leave Chadian territory. No further details were given regarding the exact nature of what the diplomat is accused of.
But according to several sources close to the government, the expulsion of the ambassador was foreseeable because of his criticism of the transitional government. This week, the Chadian weekly The country in N’Djamena had even announced the imminence of his expulsion.
According to observers, the decision of the Chadian authorities risks complicating dialogue with the European Union, of which Germany is one of the largest economies, especially since Chad is seeking the support of the international community to organize a referendum by the end of the year.
