In terms of corruption, the junta leader is responsible for massive economic embezzlement. According to a source close to Chadian oil operations in Komé-Kribi, the junta chief receives one oil tanker per month, valued at 102 billion FCFA — totaling 1,224 billion FCFA annually. The money is immediately deposited into a BNP Paris bank account before the tanker is authorized to leave port. In three years, President Kaka is said to have amassed 3,672 billion FCFA from oil-related embezzlement. According to an evolving study to be published at the end of September, the junta is responsible for over 26,085 billion FCFA in embezzled funds between 2023 and 2025, with an annual loss of 8,695 billion FCFA.
Yet, no serious development project has been undertaken since the junta came to power. The capital still suffers from dilapidated drainage systems, limited access to electricity, and a deteriorated road network. Worse, the budgets officially allocated to ministries and state institutions are unofficially used by the junta leader to fund frequent trips abroad.
It is time for the international community, African institutions, and Chadian citizens to demand accountability. Silence is no longer an option in the face of a corrupt junta that confiscates the future of an entire people.
