Chad and Central African Republic joint forces enhance border security measures

Military authorities from Chad and the Central African Republic are stepping up efforts to strengthen security along their shared border. A high-level meeting, led by Brigadier General Moubarak Abakar Nassour Hor, assessed recent joint operations and addressed emerging security challenges in border regions.

Key operations and strategic evaluations

The gathering brought together high-ranking officers from both nations’ armies, who reviewed the outcomes of recent missions under the « Al-Hamamia 1 » and « Al-Hammia 2 » operations. Discussions also focused on persistent security threats in specific border localities, where illicit movements and cross-border crimes remain a concern.

During the talks, participants endorsed a new operational plan proposed by the G5 Sahel’s joint task force. This initiative, dubbed « Sentinelle, » aims to deploy additional military units equipped with fixed and mobile surveillance posts along high-risk zones. The strategy seeks to:

• intensify monitoring of suspicious activities across the frontier;
• accelerate response times for joint military interventions;
• reinforce bilateral security cooperation between Chad and the Central African Republic.

Future outlook for border safety

According to Brigadier General Moubarak Abakar Nassour Hor, commander of the Chad-Central African Republic joint force, the « Sentinelle » operation will significantly enhance protection for border communities while addressing evolving security threats. By improving surveillance coverage and interoperability, the initiative aims to create a safer environment for residents in these vulnerable areas.
