Armed RSF Fighters In Chad

The Chadian government has condemned the RSF rebels (a Sudanese paramilitary group that emerged from the Janjaweed militias active during the Darfur conflict and now waging a civil war against the Sudanese armed forces) for attacks on Chadian military and civilian targets, in which, according to an official statement, at least seven Chadian soldiers were killed. Armed RSF fighters,

involved in the internal conflict in Sudan, launched an operation on Chadian territory, injuring several other soldiers, according to authorities. On January 15, 2026, RSF fighters illegally crossed into Chad near the border town of Tine, killing seven Chadian soldiers and injuring others. The Chadian government strongly condemned the incident and warned that it was a "final warning" against further violations of its territory. On December 26, 2025, two Chadian soldiers were killed in an RSF drone strike on the border. Since the RSF's capture of El-Fasher in October 2025, the group has increased its activity along the border, leading to several clashes. Tscad, whom Khartoum accuses of allowing foreign military supplies to cross the shared border to the rebels, and government spokesman Gassim Cherif assert their neutrality and reaffirm their non-interference in the Sudanese civil war.
