with our correspondent in Ndjamena, Madjiasra Nako

The Transformers sent a letter on December 6 to the National Office of Youth and Sports requesting to organize a rally on January 8 at Idriss Mahamat Ouya stadium, the largest in the capital.

On Monday, January 3, they received a response from the institution in charge of stadium management, indicating that on that date a rally is not possible because the venue will be under renovation.

Yet on site Tuesday morning, nothing indicated that Ndjamena's largest stadium was under construction. But in the afternoon, boards were placed around the stadium to announce the opening of a construction site.

Which amuses the president of the Transformers, Masra Succès. "I don't know if a tender (for the works) was launched, have you seen it announced? Apparently it's by direct negotiation... and on the basis of what budget? We're at the beginning of the year, the budget has just been voted... A construction site has never started that quickly in this country!" Someone said that we should organize rallies in all the stadiums in this country so they would be renovated, Masra Succès jokes. "That's a good idea!"

The Transformers are referring to the arbitration of the president of the Military Transition Council. They maintain they will go to Idriss Mahamat Ouya stadium this Saturday, January 8, and offer to help clean the place starting the next day, especially since on Saturday, no construction work takes place in Chad.
