The African Union (AU) has called for a democratic transition in Republic of Chad within 18 months following last month’s military takeover.
The African Union said it categorically rejected any extension of the transition period.
Chad’s military council has promised to hold elections within 18 months.
It is headed by Mahamat Idriss Deby, the son of the former president, Idriss Déby, who died last month after being injured fighting rebels.
