The decision was made by the National Transitional Council (NTC) in recognition of his military leadership and contributions to the country.
This honor follows in the footsteps of his late father, Idriss Deby Itno, who also held the title of Marshal of Chad. The promotion underscores the younger Deby’s significant role in the Chadian military and his commitment to national security.
The NTC cited the President’s military accomplishments, particularly his leadership in the fight against terrorism and his efforts to stabilize the region. The elevation to Marshal is seen as a symbol of his authority and influence within the country.
