Masra reacted to the decision by answering that it is a "non-event". "We are focused on what is essential," Masra added, before declaring his intention to continue his activity against the government.

The president of the Los Patriotas party, Nasur Ibrahim Koursami, has also confirmed the reactivation of the formation "in the face of the government's inability to assume its dictatorial excesses in the face of the demands of the Chadian people and the international community."

Déby was appointed president by the Army in 2021 after the death of his father, Idriss Déby Itno, who had led the country since 1990.
