Authorities in Chad have reported fatalities and injuries following a violent incident in the country’s southwest, with limited details provided about those involved.
Thirty-five people were killed and six others injured in a violent clash that occurred on Wednesday in Chad’s southwestern province of Logone Occidental, a government spokesperson confirmed on Thursday.
In an official statement, the government did not specify which groups were involved in the incident. The exact cause of the confrontation also remains unclear.
Intercommunal violence is a recurring issue in parts of Chad, particularly in rural areas where land use disputes sometimes arise. However, authorities have not yet linked this incident to any ongoing local tensions.
Security forces were dispatched to the area and brought the situation under control. A delegation later visited the site to assess conditions and provide assistance to affected residents.
Chad continues to face challenges in managing local conflicts and maintaining security in remote regions. Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
