The Chadian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, through its spokesperson Ibrahim Adam Mahamat, has once again firmly rejected claims suggesting that N’Djamena is plotting to destabilize the Central African Republic (CAR).
In a weekend statement, the ministry condemned what it described as a deliberate disinformation campaign aimed at tarnishing Chad’s reputation and straining its diplomatic ties with the neighboring CAR.
Rejecting the allegations with “the utmost firmness,” the ministry urged those behind the claims to exercise responsibility and called on media outlets and social media users to prioritize verified information over unverified narratives.
Chad has never, is not, and will never participate in any subversive activities targeting a fellow African state,
the Chadian Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized in its rebuttal. The country, a key player in Central Africa’s security landscape, reiterated its commitment to upholding sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the principle of non-interference.
According to diplomatic sources, President Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno places immense value on regional stability, which he views as intrinsically linked to Chad’s own security and peace.
The accusations, however, are not new. Chad has frequently faced allegations from neighboring countries, particularly in Central and East Africa, of covertly supporting armed groups operating across borders. One such case involves the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), currently engaged in conflict with the Sudanese Armed Forces since April 2023.
