The military authorities of Chad and the Central African Republic are stepping up efforts to enhance security along their shared border. A strategic meeting, led by Brigadier General Moubarak Abakar Nassour Hor, reviewed recent joint operations and addressed emerging security challenges in vulnerable areas.
Evaluating progress and challenges in border security
The gathering brought together top military officials from both nations to assess the outcomes of Operation Al-Hamamia 1 and Operation Al-Hamamia 2. Discussions highlighted key findings, including persistent threats in certain border regions and the need for improved coordination between defense forces.
New mission ‘Sentinelle’ to strengthen cross-border protection
During the session, Brigadier General Moubarak Abakar Nassour Hor endorsed a new operational plan proposed by the G5 Sahel Joint Force. The initiative, codenamed Operation Sentinelle, aims to deploy additional military units equipped with fixed and mobile surveillance posts along the frontier.
The enhanced deployment is designed to:
- Tighten monitoring of suspicious activities across the border
- Reduce response times for joint security operations
- Strengthen collaboration between Chadian and Central African defense forces
A united front against transnational threats
According to Brigadier General Moubarak Abakar Nassour Hor, the expanded mission will not only improve protection for border communities but also reinforce the ability to counter cross-border criminal networks and insurgent movements. The initiative reflects a growing commitment to regional stability and shared security challenges.
