The spokesperson for Chad’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ibrahim Adam Mahamat, has once again categorically refuted claims that N’Djamena is involved in a plot to destabilize the Central African Republic.
Chadian diplomats dismissed the accusations as part of a coordinated disinformation campaign designed to undermine Chad’s reputation and strain its diplomatic ties with neighboring nations, particularly the Central African Republic.
In a strongly worded statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the spread of misinformation and urged those responsible to act responsibly while calling on media outlets and social media users to prioritize verified facts over baseless claims.
The statement emphasized that Chad has never, does not currently, and will never participate in any subversive activities against another African state. The ministry stressed that Chad remains committed to upholding the principles of sovereignty, territorial integrity, and non-interference, all of which are critical to regional stability.
President Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno has long championed these values, reinforcing that the stability of the Sahel and broader Central Africa is intrinsically linked to Chad’s own security and diplomatic posture.
Despite these denials, Chad continues to face persistent allegations from neighboring countries, particularly in Central and East Africa, accusing it of covertly supporting various armed factions. These accusations have intensified since mid-April 2023, particularly regarding the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which have been engaged in conflict with the Sudanese Armed Forces.
