Chad deports German ambassador for ‘lack of respect’
The German ambassador to Chad, Jan-Christian Gordon Kricke, has been expelled for his “impolite attitude,” according to a government statement released on Saturday.
A government spokesman explained that the decision was prompted by the German ambassador’s impolite behaviour and disregard for diplomatic etiquette, as stipulated by the Vienna Convention.
According to local media reports, the move may have been prompted by ambassador Kricke’s criticism of the current transitional government.
Since 2021, Kricke has served as the German ambassador to Chad. he was given 48 hours to leave the country.
