Chad firmly denies claims of destabilization plans against Central African Republic

The spokesperson for Chad’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ibrahim Adam Mahamat, has strongly refuted over the past weekend allegations of a «planned destabilization project targeting the Central African Republic (CAR) allegedly orchestrated by N’Djamena».

Chadian diplomacy has dismissed these claims as part of a «deliberate disinformation campaign aimed at tarnishing Chad’s reputation and undermining its relations with neighboring CAR».

In a stern rebuke of what it termed «malicious disinformation tactics», the ministry urged «those responsible to act with accountability» and called on media outlets and social media users «to prioritize verified information over unverified claims».

Chad’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized in no uncertain terms that «the Republic of Chad has never been, is not now, and will never be involved in any subversive activity against a fellow African state».

The Chadian government underscored the «utmost importance» that President Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno places on «sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the principle of non-interference», asserting that «regional stability is intrinsically linked to Chad’s own peace and security».

N’Djamena continues to face recurring accusations from several Central and East African nations, which allege that Chad provides covert support to various armed groups operating beyond its borders. A notable example includes claims implicating the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), engaged in active conflict against the Sudanese Army since April 15, 2023.
