“Chad has closed its eastern border with Sudan after clashes in recent days linked to Sudan’s civil war killed five Chadian soldiers, as the conflict spilled over into Chadian territory, two sources told the Reuters news agency. The border closure on Monday comes after a Chadian official told Reuters that clashes on Saturday between the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and militia fighters loyal to Sudan’s military-backed government in the border town of Tina killed five soldiers and three civilians and wounded 12 people.” (02/23/26)
