Summary of Discussion
1. The Secretary-General reiterated his sincere condolences for the recent loss of Chadian peacekeepers in northern Mali. He indicated that Chad had shown courageous leadership and set a strong example for peace and security in the region through its important contribution to the United Nations Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA). He expressed the UN’s appreciation for the excellent performance of Chadian soldiers within MINUSMA and commended Chad for its role in support of the Malian peace process. He underlined that the UN was determined to provide support to the Chadian contingent by improving the situation in their bases and through the provision of additional equipment. He informed the Chadian delegation that the United Nations is exploring options to increase the number of armored vehicles, pre-deployment training and collaboration with the French operation “Barkhane”. He announced that the UN would dispatch a high-level delegation to N’Djamena, Chad, to discuss these issues.
2. President Idriss Déby Itno indicated that, while Chad was shocked by the recent killing of its soldiers, it would remain committed to pursue its cooperation with the United Nations. He deplored the “very bad” management of Chadian peacekeepers located in the most volatile and difficult regions of the north of Mali (Aguelhok, Tessalit and Kidal). He called on the UN to improve the living conditions of Chadian soldiers and to take necessary measures to enhance their protection. He suggested that a rotation of troops within MINUSMA be established to allow Chadian peacekeepers to be regularly redeployed out of this “hardship zone”. President Déby Itno insisted on the need to implement the United Nations Integrated Strategy for the Sahel to tackle the spread of terrorism and to prevent further recruitment by these groups. He indicated that the promises made by the World Bank and the UN to the people of the region needed to materialize.
3. The Secretary-General encouraged President Déby Itno to work with national stakeholders to ensure that progress achieved in peace consolidation is further strengthened in the country.
4. The Secretary-General expressed concern about the threat posed by Boko Haram and sought Chad’s views on the situation in north-eastern Nigeria and its impact on peace and stability in the region.
5. President Déby Itno indicated that he was very pessimistic about the situation in north-eastern Nigeria, adding that the Nigerian army did not have the means to contain Boko Haram. He was very concerned with Boko Haram’s new tactics of conquering territories, expanding its activities into Cameroon, and increasing recruitment. He also expressed serious concern about Boko Haram’s allegiance to the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
6. The Secretary-General commended Chad for its active contribution, as Chair of the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS) and member of the Security Council, to resolve the ongoing crisis in CAR.

7. President Déby Itno welcomed the launch of MINUSCA’s operations and stated that the recent resumption of economic activity in Bangui was a good sign. He regretted that the Government had little influence beyond Bangui and indicated that more dialogue was needed. He warned against pushing for elections in the CAR and stressed the need to support the ongoing transition, including financially, to allow for the expansion of state authority throughout CAR. Concerning the anti-Balaka, he mentioned the need to confine these groups to barracks and to begin DDR operations as soon as possible. He indicated that the deployment of Chadian soldiers to CAR was not an option, adding that Chadian public opinion was adamantly against it. He added that Chad was however ready to support CAR, including through the training of its soldiers and officials.
