Chad: Idriss Déby, the president of Chad, has asked the Société Nationale de Ciment du Tchad (SONACIM) to restart production following reports of cement shortages and price rises. He made the announcement following a meeting with representatives of the local industry, according to the Journal du Tchad. SONACIM’s plant at Baore has reportedly been not operating recently due to long-running issues since its opening in 2012.
