Nagoum Yamassoum
Nagoum Yamassoum (born 1954) is a Chadian politician. He was Prime Minister of Chad from 1999 to 2002 and Minister of State for Foreign Affairs from 2003 to 2005.
Yamassoum, who received a doctorate degree in political science from the University of Bordeaux in France, directed President Idriss Déby's campaign for the 1996 presidential election.[1] After serving as President of the Constitutional Council, he was named Prime Minister of Chad on December 13, 1999;[2] he had also previously served as Minister of Education and Minister of Culture.[3] He served as Prime Minister until June 12, 2002,[4] when he resigned and was replaced by Haroun Kabadi.[5] In June 2003, when Kabadi's government resigned and a new government led by Moussa Faki took office, Yamassoum was appointed as the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs.[6] He left that position in August 2005 when a cabinet reshuffle occurred.
Yamassoum was appointed as Chairman of the Board of the Hydrocarbons Company of Chad (Societe des Hydrocarbures du Tchad, SHT) in November 2007.[7] Later, as Secretary-General of the Patriotic Salvation Movement (MPS), Yamassoum was entrusted with leading the ruling party into 2011, a major election year—both parliamentary and presidential elections were planned. Critics argued that he lacked popularity with the party base.[1] He was replaced as Secretary-General by Haroun Kabadi in January 2011, before the elections were held.[8]
