Bonjour
Il y avait a l’instant meme 927 signataires.
Nous avons depose de matin la liste des premieres signataires a l’Elysee et cherchons a faire de
meme a la Presidence tchadienne (sans succes pour l’instant car les fax ne passent pas).
Nous avons aussi redige un communique de presse que nous avons poste sur le site de\u00a0 l’AFP et dont
le texte suit
%%%% D\u00e9p\u00eache :\u00a0 La communaut\u00e9 math\u00e9matique internationale se mobilise pour demander la v\u00e9rit\u00e9 sur le
sort du math\u00e9maticien et homme politique Ibni Oumar Mahamet Saleh Cet ancien ministre et important
responsable politique tchadien, enlev\u00e9 \u00e0 son domicile le 3 f\u00e9vrier 2008, dont on est toujours sans
nouvelles, est aussi un math\u00e9maticien appr\u00e9ci\u00e9 de ses coll\u00e8gues.\u00a0 Ibni Oumar Mohamat Saleh est
docteur en math\u00e9matiques de l’Universit\u00e9 d’Orl\u00e9ans, o\u00f9 il a fait toutes ses \u00e9tudes sup\u00e9rieures. Il
est professeur \u00e0 l’universit\u00e9 de N’Djamena depuis 1985. Il y a exerc\u00e9 de nombreuses responsabilit\u00e9s
universitaires avant d’accepter des responsabilit\u00e9s minist\u00e9rielles. Il est toujours rest\u00e9 en contact
avec certaines universit\u00e9s fran\u00e7aises. Il est en particulier \u00e0 l’origine d’une coop\u00e9ration
inter-universitaire permettant de compl\u00e9ter la formation des enseignants de l’universit\u00e9 de
N’Djamena. M\u00eame appel\u00e9 \u00e0 d’autres responsabilit\u00e9s, Ibni Oumar Mahamat Saleh a continu\u00e9 \u00e0 suivre de
pr\u00e8s de d\u00e9roulement de cette coop\u00e9ration. Il s’est rendu plusieurs fois dans ce cadre au d\u00e9partement
de math\u00e9matiques d’Orl\u00e9ans. Il y est invit\u00e9 d\u00e9s que possible. La communaut\u00e9 math\u00e9matique
internationale s’inqui\u00e8te vivement et souhaite conna\u00eetre la v\u00e9rit\u00e9 sur le sort d’ Ibni Oumar Mahamet
Saleh. Les informations qui circulent \u00e0 son sujet sont contradictoires, certaines faisant craindre
pour sa vie. Il est temps que tout soit mis en oeuvre pour qu’on sache o\u00f9 est Ibni Oumar Mahamet
Saleh, et dans quel \u00e9tat.\u00a0 Une p\u00e9tition a \u00e9t\u00e9 lanc\u00e9e par les deux soci\u00e9t\u00e9s savantes fran\u00e7aises de
math\u00e9matiques, la SMF et la SMAI. Elle a attir\u00e9 plus de 920 signatures dans la communaut\u00e9
math\u00e9matique, venant de nombreux pays diff\u00e9rents. Les signataires ne demandent qu’une chose aux
pr\u00e9sidents fran\u00e7ais et tchadien : la v\u00e9rit\u00e9. http:\/\/smf.emath.fr\/PetitionSaleh\/<\/a> %%%
N’hesitez pas a le signaler a vos contacts dans les medias, au cas ou !
La liste des signataires actuels sera communiquee a la famille d’Ibini Oumar Mahamat Saleh samedilors de la manifestation annoncee hier.
Bon courage

Hi
There were a few instants ago 927 signatories.
The first list of signatories was communicated this morning to the President de la Republique
Francaise, and we are trying to do the same for the President de la Republique du Tchad (without
success so far since there are fax problems).
We have also written a short text that we sent to the Agence France Press, which follows<\/p>\n
mathematician and politician Mahamet Saleh Ibni Oumar. This former minister and important political
leader of Chad, abducted from his home on February 3, 2008, whose fate is still unknown, is also a
mathematician liked by his colleagues. Ibni Oumar Mohamat Saleh has a doctorate in mathematics from
the University of Orleans, France, where he completed his mathematical education. He is a professor
at the University of N’Djamena since 1985. He had many academic responsibilities before accepting
ministerial responsibilities. It has always been in contact with some French universities. In
particular, it is at the root of an inter-university cooperation aiming to complement the training
of teachers at the University of N’Djamena. Even called to other responsibilities, Ibni Oumar
Mahamat Saleh has continued to follow closely the progress of this cooperation. He visited several
times in this connection at the Department of Mathematics of Orleans. He is invited there as soon as
possible. The international mathematical community is deeply concerned about his fate and wants to
know the truth. The information circulating about him is contradictory, some raising fears for his
life. It is time that every effort be made to ensure that one knows where is Ibni Oumar Mahamet
Saleh, and in what condition. A petition was launched by the two French mathematical learned
societies,\u00a0 SMF and SMAI. It attracted over 920 signatures in the mathematical community, from many
different countries.\u00a0 The signatories are asking only one thing to the presidents of Chad and
France: the truth. http:\/\/smf.emath.fr\/en\/PetitionSaleh\/<\/a>

Do not hesitate to inform your contacts in the media, if any !
The list of signatories will be communicated to Ibni Oumar Mahamet Saleh’s family tomorrow during
the demonstration announced yesterday.
Have a good day
