On May 26, 2026, the two major magistrate unions in Chad, the Syndicat des Magistrats Tchadiens (SMT) and the Syndicat Autonome des Magistrats Tchadiens (SYAMAT), convened an emergency general meeting at the N’Djamena Palace of Justice. Delegates were tasked with implementing resolutions over a ten-day period following the gathering.

Later that same day, the Prime Minister of Chad met with union representatives in the presence of the Minister of Justice and Human Rights as well as the First President of the Supreme Court. During this encounter, the Prime Minister extended a formal apology on behalf of the government and underscored the importance of strengthening cohesion among state institutions.

The following day, May 27, 2026, union leaders held separate discussions with the Minister of Justice and Human Rights, followed by a joint session with the Minister of Public Security and Immigration—again with the First President of the Supreme Court in attendance. These exchanges aimed to foster a mutually agreeable and peaceful resolution.

The Minister of Public Security also issued an official apology to the magistrates. Union representatives acknowledged these gestures and commended the officials for their dedication to dialogue and reconciliation.
