The Les Transformateurs (English: The Transformers; Arabic: المحوِّلون) is a political party in the Republic of Chad.[1] It was part of the opposition against the Chadian President Idriss Déby, and the Transitional Military Council that succeeded him after his death in 2021.

Background[edit]

It was founded on 29 April 2018 by Succès Masra, to bring together Chadians "from the outside as well as from the inside" and to turn the country into a functioning social democracy.[2][3][4][5]

On January 1, 2024, Masra was appointed Prime Minister of Chad, following an agreement brokered by the Economic Community of Central African States permitting Masra to return to Chad after an amnesty was granted to him.[6]
