Chad closes eastern border with Sudan
Change
Chad closed its eastern border with Sudan until further notice.
Why it matters
Exemptions for crossings are limited to strictly justified humanitarian reasons and require prior authorization from relevant authorities. Authorisations must be obtained in advance for humanitarian workers and aid convoys. The restriction applies to Chad's eastern border with Sudan and remains in effect until further notice. Officials reported five soldiers and three civilians killed and at least 12 others wounded in recent border fighting in al‑Tina, and almost one million Sudanese have crossed into Chad since the 2023 outbreak of civil war.
Implications
- • Cross-border movement on Chad's eastern frontier is restricted to authorised humanitarian cases only.
- • Humanitarian workers and aid convoys must secure prior authorization before entering via Chad.
