President Muhammadu Buhari has urged warring factions in

the Republic of Chad to prioritize national interest and secure

their country, rather than decimating it through infighting.

Buhari said this when he received the country’s transition

President, General Mehmet Déby-Itno, who visited him on the

sidelines of the ongoing United Nations Conference on Least

Developed Countries in Doha, the Qatari capital.

The President also expressed sympathy for the young

Chadian leader who, he said, inherited a fragile state from his

deceased father, Idris Déby.
