Cholera Outbreak Kills Hundreds Among Displaced and Refugees in Eastern Chad

Seven Chadian Soldiers Killed in RSF Incursion Near Sudanese Border

Chad's Communications Blackout Raises Hopes for Shift in Regional Dynamics

Chad's recent events have shed light on a long-standing issue – the ongoing struggle for control over the resources and borders of Chad. A brazen daylight attack by Rapid Support Forces (RSF) from Sudan on January 15, 2026, left seven Chadian soldiers dead near the border, further straining already tense relations between the two countries.

Chad's President Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno has been awarded the 2026 African Peace Prize, a recognition of his efforts to promote peace and stability in Chad. However, critics argue that these reforms have largely benefited the ruling elite, with many Chadians struggling to access basic services such as healthcare and education.

In eastern Chad's Sudanese camps, a devastating cholera outbreak is claiming lives among thousands of displaced and refugee families. The humanitarian crisis deepens, with reports of emergency healthcare shortages growing, as hundreds have died from the disease.
