Germany Fires Back At Chad, Expels Ambassador

Afimag.com –

Following the expulsion of her ambassador to Chad, Berlin has ordered Chad’s ambassador to Germany to vacate the country within 48 hours.

This could be a pay back after the German ambassador to Chad, Gordon Kricke, was expelled from the country a few days ago.

The German foreign minister on April 11, 2023, tweeted: “In response to the unfounded expulsion of our Ambassador to Chad, we today summoned the Chadian Ambassador in Berlin, Mariam Ali Moussa, and called on her to leave Germany within 48 hours. We regret that it had to come to this.”

The Chadian Communications Ministry said that the decision was a result of “non-respect of diplomatic customs”.

It was gathered that two Chadian government sources said the expulsion was due to Kricke’s critical comments about delayed elections and a court decision allowing interim military leader Mahamat Idriss Deby to run for political office.
