Chad expels German ambassador for 'discourteous' behavior.

Chad has ordered the German ambassador, Gordon Kricke, to leave the country within 48 hours for "non-respect of diplomatic customs" and a "discourteous attitude". Kricke had criticised delays in holding elections after the coup and a ruling last year that will allow interim military leader Mahamat Idriss Deby to run in elections in 2024. The move has been criticised by Germany's foreign ministry, which is in contact with Chadian authorities. The delay in elections has sparked protests and concerns from regional powers and the US, who have warned against extending military rule.
