According to reports from both sides, the clashes began on Tuesday morning in Korbol, a small town in the Moyen-Chari region.

A Legacy of Violence
Chad has been plagued by rebel offensives for decades, with some reaching as far as the capital city N'Djamena. The country has been ruled by the same family - late president Idriss Deby and now his son Mahamat - for over three decades, leaving many to wonder if a change in leadership could bring an end to the cycle of violence.
A Humanitarian Crisis Unfolds
As the situation continues to unfold, concerns are growing about the humanitarian impact of the clashes. With reports of civilian casualties and displacement, aid organizations are scrambling to provide assistance to those affected by the conflict.
The latest bout of violence in Chad serves as a stark reminder of the country's ongoing struggle with rebel groups and its own military. As the international community watches with bated breath, one thing is clear: only through dialogue and cooperation can this cycle of violence be broken, and peace restored to the war-torn nation.
