N’DJAMENA: Chad’s President Idriss Deby has sacked Finance Minister Christian Georges Diguimbaye, a government decree showed. The decree dated Nov. 21, reviewed by Reuters on Thursday, also dismissed Diguimabye’s deputy, Banata Tchalet Sow. It gave no reason for the sackings. Abdoulaye Sabre Fadoul, the minister-secretary general of the government in charge of institutional reform, will serve as interim finance minister, the decree said. Diguimbaye and Sow’s dismissal came amid a standoff with Swiss-based commodities giant Glencore over more than $1 billion the West African country owes it in oil-backed loans.
