Chad's President Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno has granted a presidential pardon to Succès Masra, the country's former prime minister and a prominent opposition leader. Masra had been sentenced to 20 years in prison following a conviction related to his alleged involvement in an intercommunal conflict and a massacre in the southern region of the country.
The pardon follows a legal process that concluded with a firm prison sentence in August 2025. The move marks a significant development in the political landscape of Chad, involving the reconciliation or resolution of legal actions against a high-profile political figure who previously served in the government.
