Chad’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced the closure of the country’s embassies in Côte d’Ivoire, Gabon, and Israel, according to a report by TribuneEchos citing the Chadian foreign ministry.

As for Côte d’Ivoire, Chad’s diplomatic representation will be handled by its embassy in Cotonou, Benin, while Gabon will be represented through Chad’s embassy in Equatorial Guinea.
In the same context, N’Djamena announced the opening of a new Consulate General in Kigali, Rwanda, which will operate under the authority of Chad’s embassy in the Republic of Congo.
