Meanwhile, Chad grapples with a refugee influx at a level not seen in two decades. The unfolding humanitarian emergency underscores the pressing need for international solidarity and concerted efforts to address the root causes of conflict and displacement in the region, promoting stability and resilience for vulnerable populations.

This recent surge serves as a stark reminder of the delicate balance between internal strife and broader regional currents, casting a pall of uncertainty over Chad’s trajectory.
