Eastern Chad

The Chadian government has launched indiscriminate counterinsurgency operations against Chadian rebel groups, significantly impacting the lives of civilians in eastern Chad.

Innocent civilians have been killed, with some reports indicating tens of thousands of casualties. Hundreds of thousands of Chadians have been displaced since 2007.

Civilians are trapped between violence in Darfur on the east and clashes between Chadian militias and rebel groups from the west.

Violence is beginning to parallel similar events in Darfur.
