The judicial proceedings surrounding General Abdoulaye Miskine, also known by his birth name Martin Koumtamadji, continue to face significant hurdles. His case, which was listed on the general docket for the traveling session of the criminal chamber at the N’Djamena Court of Appeal on Monday, May 25, 2026, was unexpectedly removed from the schedule. This decision comes despite widespread anticipation for the trial, especially after Miskine’s prolonged detention for several years without judgment in Chad.

Records indicate that the file was cataloged under reference number 093/2022. General Miskine was named alongside other co-accused individuals, including Adoum Rakhis, Ringo Djouma, and Abdoulaye Gros. The charges against them are extensive, encompassing criminal association, the formation of and participation in insurrectional movements, kidnapping, illegal confinement, severe abuse, rape, and property extortion. The alleged location of these offenses is Tissi.

Arrested in November 2019 in N’Djamena, Abdoulaye Miskine has now spent over six and a half years incarcerated at Klessoum detention center, yet his trial has not commenced. The most recent hearing, slated for May 25, 2026, was reportedly suspended. While some suggest the sudden passing of a court clerk as the reason, no new trial date has been announced since. This lack of communication further fuels concerns and questions surrounding an already sensitive Chadian judicial case.

According to multiple local reports, the case has been taken off the court calendar “until further notice.” Sources close to the proceedings suggest that political pressures are impeding the examination of the trial involving the former leader of the Central African People’s Democratic Front (FDPC). This alleged interference persists despite the extensive period of his detention and repeated appeals from his legal counsel and family.

The Central African Republic had previously sought Miskine’s extradition, a request that Chad declined. His involvement in the 2019 Khartoum Peace Accord further complicates this already intricate legal matter, adding significant political and regional dimensions to the Chadian judicial landscape.

Concerns regarding General Miskine’s health are also escalating. For several years, his family and associates have highlighted his struggles with renal insufficiency, arterial hypertension, vision impairment, and significant weight loss. He has undergone multiple hospitalizations, notably in 2025, a year during which he also initiated a hunger strike following the confiscation of his prescribed medications.

For his supporters, this ongoing situation serves as a stark illustration of prolonged detention without due process. While Chadian judicial authorities officially maintain that the case remains pending before the courts, the abrupt rescheduling of the May 25, 2026, hearing intensifies criticism over the persistent blockage of this high-profile affair. The case of General Abdoulaye Miskine uniquely intersects judicial, security, and political interests between Chad and the Central African Republic.

As of now, no new date for the resumption of the trial has been publicly announced. The Abdoulaye Miskine case thus remains in an indefinite suspension, with no clear prospects for a definitive judgment, his release, or his extradition.
