France 24 reports that the decision could complicate future investigations into alleged war crimes linked to the conflict in neighbouring Sudan, particularly as ICC investigators engage with Sudanese refugees sheltering in eastern Chad.
Last July, Chad announced plans to withdraw from the International Criminal Court, accusing it of inefficiency and of disproportionately targeting African nations.

This world story centres on Sudan. Names and organisations mentioned in the coverage include Chad’s ICC, Chad and International Criminal Court.
