BERLIN, 11 Apr. (DPA/EP) –
The Government of Germany has ordered on Monday the departure of the Chadian ambassador from the country in retaliation for the “unfounded expulsion” previously ordered against the main diplomatic representative in the African country.
“We are very sorry that this situation has come to be,” said a spokesman for the German Foreign Ministry, which has given the Chadian ambassador, Mariam Ali Moussa, two days to leave.

The local press speculates that the expulsion could have been due to criticism of the Chadian transitional government.
The German ambassador had been critical of the African country’s political transition process after the repression of the mobilizations on October 20 and several days after, which resulted in nearly 130 deaths, according to the balance published by the National Rights Commission. Chadian humans.
