Ahmad Allam-Mi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ahmad Allam-Mi is a Chadian diplomat. He was the Minister of Foreign Affairs & African Integration of Chad from 2005 to 2008.

In the 1980s[1] and in the 1990s, Allam-Mi served as Chad's Ambassador to France.[2]

When Prime Minister Pascal Yoadimnadji reshuffled the government on 7 August 2005, Allam-Mi was appointed as Minister of Foreign Affairs and African Integration.[3][4]

Allam-Mi told the United Nations General Assembly on 22 September, 2006, "the continuing armed conflict and humanitarian crisis engulfing Sudan's Darfur region threaten the security of the entire region." Allam-Mi said Chad has had to house over 300,000 refugees since the Darfur crisis began and at least 50,000 Chadians have been displaced and hundreds have died. Allam-Mi called on the United Nations to take over peacekeeping operations as approved in United Nations Security Council Resolution 1706, and that the deployment of peacekeepers would not violate Sudan's sovereignty.[5]

On August 6, 2006, Allam-Mi attended the meeting in Beijing, People's Republic of China, where Chad and China formally re-established diplomatic ties. The two countries had initiated relations in 1972, but the PRC broke them off in 1997 when Chad established ties with the Republic of China.[6]

In the government of Prime Minister Youssouf Saleh Abbas, which was announced on April 23, 2008, Allam-Mi lost his post as Minister of Foreign Affairs, being replaced by Moussa Faki.[7]
