<p>I am concerned by the situation in Chad. My thoughts are with those mourning the
death of President Déby and others who have died in fighting. The Foreign Secretary
and I have publicly called for an end to violence in Chad. It is vital that stability
is restored in order to allow for a peaceful, inclusive transition to civilian and
constitutional rule.</p><p>We continue to engage closely with our international partners
on developments in Chad. Through our Ambassador (designate) to Chad and our Sahel
Envoy, we are holding regular discussions with the US, France and Germany. I have
discussed the situation with regional leaders, including on my visit to Nigeria and
with the AU's Commissioner for Political Affairs, Ambassador Bankole Adeoye. Ministers
have not held discussions with Chad's transitional authorities following the death
of President Déby.</p>
