The government of Chad has said it doesn’t understand why the US has included its citizens in the latest American travel ban list.
Communications Minister Madeleine Alingué urged President Trump to reconsider the decision:
“The Chadian government expresses its lack of understanding of official reasons behind this decision. This move contrasts with Chad’s constant efforts and commitments in the fight against terrorism at the regional and global levels.”
“The Chadian government calls for a better appreciation of the situation and invites President Donald Trump to reconsider this decision which seriously undermines the image of Chad and good relations between both countries, particularly in the fight against terrorism.”
“Chad remains available to any discussion in order to reinforce its collaboration with the United States of America on security and counter-terrorism issues. However, the government doesn’t want to be forced to use the principle of reciprocity, which could undermine interests of the two countries.”
