Chad has closed its border with Sudan “until further notice”, citing security concerns after armed groups crossed into its territory amid ongoing fighting in Darfur.
Government spokesperson Gassim Cherif Mahamat said the measure aims to prevent the Sudan conflict from spreading, protect civilians and refugees, and safeguard Chad’s territorial integrity.
The decision follows an attack by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on the border town of Tine. The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) said they repelled the assault, with RSF fighters retreating towards Chad.
Tine remains one of the last military-held areas in Darfur, largely under RSF control since October 2025.
The war began in April 2023 following a power struggle between the Sudanese military and the RSF in Khartoum.
