Chad-CAR joint forces bolster border security measures
Military authorities in Chad and the Central African Republic are ramping up efforts to enhance security along their shared border. A strategic meeting led by Major General Moubarak Abakar Nassour Hor assessed the outcomes of recent joint operations in the region.
The gathering brought together high-ranking military officials from both nations who are part of the Chad-CAR joint force, tasked with securing the border. Discussions centered on evaluating the results of Operation Al-Hamamia 1 and Operation Al-Hammia 2, while also addressing persistent security challenges in certain areas.
During the talks, participants reviewed updated tactics to strengthen the presence of defense and security forces in high-risk border zones. Key decisions included approval of a new operational plan for Operation Sentinelle, proposed by the G5 Sahel joint force. This initiative will involve deploying multiple military units supported by both fixed and mobile surveillance posts.
The primary goals are to increase monitoring of suspicious activities, expedite joint force responses, and deepen security cooperation between Chad and the Central African Republic. Speaking after the meeting, Major General Moubarak Abakar Nassour Hor, commander of the Chad-CAR joint force, emphasized that these measures will significantly improve protection for border communities and address regional security threats more effectively.
