REFLEXIVE PEACE PRACTICE (RPP) TAFAKARI

This was a comparatively quieter week than the two preceding it; no mass-casualty disaster and no new confirmed armed clash inside the country, but it was not without substance. In N'Djamena, Chad, the long-delayed trial of former CAR rebel leader Abdoulaye Miskine finally opened on 26 August, only to be postponed to 31 August, a case the region is watching closely given its implications for Chad-CAR judicial cooperation. The overall picture remains moderate but with somewhat more room for cautious observations than in recent weeks.
