Tensions between the 200,000 Sudanese refugees and Chadian host communities remain high.

Chadian losses were minimal only 18 soldiers died and three Toyotas were destroyed.

Beginning in the 7th millennium BC, human populations moved into the Chadian basin in great numbers.

Abou Zeid was killed by French and Chadian troops on 25 February 2013 in fighting in Northern Mali.

Reports of defections from the Chadian army have highlighted the risk of transborder tribal ties internationalizing the conflict in Darfur.

However, it was believed that many of the troops who fled the Chadian attacks of March 1987 were members of the Legion.

In 2008 a new French intervention strengthens the regime of Chadian President Idriss Deby and evacuated foreigners while rebels from neighboring Sudan attacked.

However, on 24 September, a delegation composed of the AU, JEM and Chadian co mediators travelled to N'djamena to meet President Idriss Déby.

At Iridimi Camp, three refugees were shot when refugees opposed to a re registration exercise clashed with Chadian police responsible for providing camp security.

As well as the passivity shown in recent days by the Chadian interposition force dispatched to Sibut, a barrier located a hundred kilometers from Bangui

The regional spillover effects of this crisis on Chad and the impact of Chadian groups crossing into west Darfur are also cause for great concern.

The town of Fotokol has been subjected to battles between Boko Haram and Camerronian and Chadian armed forces recently March 2014, August 2014 and October 2014.

The total number of military observers on the ground is now 440, broken down as follows African Union, 362 Chadian mediation, 18 Sudanese parties, 46 partners, 14.

The emergence of the Chadian army in support of the Cameroonian and Nigerian military appears to be decisive, given the panic moves that has seemingly gripped Boko Haram.

As at 1 August 2004, roughly 1.2 million Sudanese were internally displaced in the three Darfur states, and tens of thousands more were forced to seek safety across the Chadian border.

The Office there intervened repeatedly to resolve disputes among refugees and with locals and reached agreement with Chadian authorities to provide a regular police presence, including of female officers, around the camps.

In another worrisome development, a group of Chadian deserters took refuge in the Darfur region, straining relations between the Sudan and Chad and adding yet another destabilizing factor to the complex regional picture.

At Goz Amer camp, a Chadian customs official and three refugees were killed by gunshot wounds sustained in a confrontation ignited by the seizure of plastic sheeting sold by refugees in the camp market.

Libya had been involved in Chad's internal affairs prior to 1978 and before Muammar Gaddafi's rise to power in Libya in 1969, beginning with the extension of the Chadian Civil War to northern Chad in 1968.

After a long break since its last meeting in February 2005, the ninth meeting of the Joint Commission established by the N'djamena Protocol of 8 April 2004 was held in the Chadian capital on 13 and 14 October.

Chadian Prime Minister Kalzeubet Pahimi Deubet said that at least 2,500 Nigerians and 500 Chadians had sought refuge in the neighbouring country following the attacks, some of whom were trying to cross Lake Chad in flimsy and overloaded canoes.

In all of these occasions Gaddafi had the support of a number of factions participating in the civil war, while Libya's opponents found the support of the French government, which intervened militarily to save the Chadian government in 1978, 1983 and 1986.

It firmly condemns in this context recent attacks perpetrated by armed elements within Chad and in particular the attack on 19 December 2005 on positions of the Chadian national army in the town of Adré, and supports efforts to reduce tensions on the border.
