The Transitional Military Council (French: Conseil militaire de transition, CMT; Arabic: المجلس العسكري الانتقالي, al-Majlis al-‘askarī al-intiqālī) was a military junta that ruled Chad from 2021 to 2022. It announced the death of former President Idriss Déby on 20 April 2021, and declared that it would take charge of the government of Chad and continue hostilities against FACT rebels in the north of the country.[1] It was chaired by Mahamat Idriss Déby, the son of the late President, making him the de facto President of Chad.[2][3] It was dissolved on 10 October 2022, following a "national dialogue" that named Déby Transitional President and replaced the CMT with a transitional administration appointed by him.[4][5][6]
