Originally in the Civil Service , where he rose to the position of Chief Inspector of the Treasury, he has then worked briefly for the International Monetary Fund . He was ambassador for his country in the United States and France , and in 1989 president of the National Assembly . He served as Prime Minister of Chad from March 4 , 1991 until May 20 , 1992 . Previously, the position had been vacant since 1979, but when Idriss Déby overthrew the government of Hissène Habré , he revived the position. In 1992 Alingué founded the Union For Democracy And Republic , and under its banner presented himself twice as a candidate for the presidential elections, in 1996 obtaining 8.3% and in 2001 only 2.2%. He has boycotted in 2002 the Last Parliamentary Election , and did the same in 2005 about the Constitutional Referendum . Alingué has become an outspoken critic of the President's policies; '' Le Temps '' reports that in 1999 he claimed that of the 17 miliards of CFA Franc s taken from the fund of the Chad-Cameroon Petroleum Development And Pipeline Project , a part had been used to buy weapons. This was later ascertained as true by the same World Bank. REFERENCES |
