Sécurité transfrontalière : Importante saisie d'armes à la frontière Tchad-Libye

A large-scale operation conducted by the joint Chad-Libya force dealt a severe blow to trafficking networks in the far north. On the night of February 20, 2026 , during a sweep mission, security units intercepted a substantial arsenal including ammunition and heavy weapons, notably surface-to-air missile systems (SAMs) .

Towards enhanced military coordination

The day after this seizure, on February 21 , a strategic meeting was held at "Point 35". This security summit brought together key figures from both nations:

  1. General Mabrouk Sahban : Commander of the southern military zone (Libya).
  2. Brigadier General Abdel Fattah Bouziane : Commander of the joint force.
  3. Senior Chadian military officials.

The main objective of this meeting was to define a rigorous working mechanism for the official launch of operations to secure and protect shared borders.

Integrated aerial and ground surveillance

To ensure the effectiveness of this mission, a joint operations room has been established. Here are its main features:

  1. Tactical support: Reinforced support by air assets to cover the vastness of the desert.
  2. Command: Placed under the direct authority of the land forces command.
  3. Mission: To ensure a permanent and thorough sweep of the border strip to prevent any new infiltration or arms trafficking.
Note: This cooperation marks a decisive step in the stabilization of this sensitive area, often exploited by non-state armed groups.
