Chadian President Idriss Deby Itno arrived on Tuesday for a state visit, of which the duration was yet to know.
On his arrival at the Leon Mba International Airport, the Chadian president was received by his Gabonese counterpart Omar Bongo Ondimba.
Recently, Chadian political leaders’ visits to Gabonese capital of Libreville have increased in frequency. Last Friday, President Ondimba held discussions with former Chadian president Goukouni Weddeye who had been overthrown by Hissene Habre. Habre was later overthrown by the current Chadian President Itno.
Weddeye who lives in exile in Algeria has openly called on Ondimba to intervene in the search for a solution to the crisis which is rocking Chad. He particularly appealed to the Gabonese president to mediate talks between Itno and other Chadian political leaders as well as various rebel forces.
