Former Chadian Prime Minister and opposition leader Succès Masra has called for national reconciliation following his release from prison, where he had been serving a 20-year sentence.

Masra was granted a presidential pardon alongside eight other opposition leaders from the Consultation Group of Political Actors, who were sentenced in May to eight years in prison for alleged insurrection.

Speaking a day after his release, Masra extended a hand to the government, emphasising the need for dialogue and unity to overcome Chad’s political divides.
