According to several sources, Maxime Mokom had a dispute with the ANS over the distribution of funds allocated by Angola to finance this exile. The Central African government does not like the presence of Mokom in Chad and is calling for him to go into exile, far from its borders. While most of its partners believe that the objectives contained in the Luanda roadmap are slow to materialize.
