BEVERLY HILLS, May 14, (THEWILL) – President Muhammadu Buhari is this Friday playing host to the President of Chad’s Transitional Military Council, General Mahamat Idriss Deby, in the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Buhari received General Deby in the Presidential Villa at around 11:11am.
Although the agenda of the meeting between the two leaders, which began at about 11.18am, was not made public, it may not be unconnected with the need for countries sharing boundaries in the Sahel region to find a permanent solution to the menace of terrorism and arms proliferation threatening the peace and security of the region.
Mahamat Deby took over the reins of leadership after his father and former President of Chad, Marshal Idris Deby Itno, died of wounds sustained in battle against rebels in April.
