**Launch of L'Alliance des Patriotes du Sahel (APS) and the G+5 Campaign**
Dear Friends,
As we step into the new year of 2025, it is a time for reflection and anticipation. I am thrilled to announce the initiation of an exploratory committee and grassroots movement, L'Alliance des Patriotes du Sahel (APS). Our focus will be on innovative, positive, and solution-driven initiatives that break away from the traditional political narrative.
Reflecting on my personal journey, I faced the realities of exile and the refugee process at a young age, which took me across Ivory Coast, Sénégal, Mali, and Burkina Faso. A pivotal moment arrived when I secured a position with the Embassy of Chad in Washington, DC. This opportunity was not about prestige, but rather a chance to reconnect with my homeland, which I left at the age of six. Nine years later, I am immensely grateful for the enriching and humbling experiences that have shaped my path toward public service and social change in Chad.
In 2019, I relocated to N'Djamena to work with a foreign diplomatic mission. Through my faith, I have come to understand that sometimes, God operates in mysterious ways. After five years in that role, it became clear that my purpose in Chad was to step into a leadership role that I had long been preparing for.
December 29, 2024, marked the beginning of my G+5 Campaign, a five-year initiative aimed at perfecting our contributions to political change and reform in Chad. This is a call to action for all of you.
At APS, we aim to foster unity, patriotism, and progress across our Sahelian nations and the African diaspora. The next five years hold immense promise, and your involvement is essential. Each one of you brings unique perspectives and experiences that enrich our collective mission. Our diversity is our strength.
APS serves as a platform for open dialogue, collaboration, and action-oriented initiatives. We invite you to share your ideas, engage in meaningful discussions, and actively participate in our efforts. Together, we can amplify our voices and drive significant change across the Sahel.
Thank you for joining the G+5 movement. Let us stand united in our common aspirations to create a brighter future for all.
Best wishes and Happy New Year 2025!
Warm regards,
Gore Mbaitoloum
