Chad Closes Border with Sudan Amid Incursions
The ministry stated that the closure aims to prevent the Sudan conflict from spilling into Chad, protect citizens and refugees, and safeguard national stability and territorial integrity. It also emphasized Chad’s right under international law to respond to any aggression or violation of its borders.
Recent clashes in the border town of El Tina were reportedly triggered by an assault from Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), resulting in casualties among Chadian soldiers. The RSF controls most of western Sudan, including the Darfur region, while the Sudanese army maintains control over other states and the capital, Khartoum.
The Sudanese conflict, ongoing since April 2023, has caused tens of thousands of deaths and displaced around 13 million people, generating one of the world’s most severe humanitarian crises, with famine conditions reported by the UN.
