Abdoulaye Miskine trial in Chad
Overview
The trial of Central African rebel leader Martin Koumtamadji, known as Abdoulaye Miskine, in the N’Djaména High Court faced delays in late August 2026. The proceedings were postponed to allow for the presence of witnesses and civil parties residing in various locations within the Central African Republic.
On September 9, 2026, the court sentenced Miskine to 15 years in prison. He was convicted of charges including insurrectionary movement, murder, kidnapping, sequestration, and rape. Miskine was also ordered to pay 30 million CFA francs to each victim's family. Three co-defendants received 10-year prison sentences.
The defense contested the Chadian court's jurisdiction, arguing the incidents occurred in the Central African Republic and that the statute of limitations had expired. While civil parties expressed partial satisfaction with the verdict, they noted disappointment that the court did not reclassify the offenses as “crimes against humanity,” which could have led to life imprisonment.
