Chad summoned the Central African ambassador after an incursion by the Central African army into Abnabak, in Salamat province, which left several soldiers and civilians injured. Minister Ahmed Kogri demanded explanations and issued a firm warning to Bangui, according to Tchadinfos.

Chad’s Foreign Minister Ahmed Kogri summoned the ambassador of the Central African Republic to Chad on Sunday 11 October 2026 to protest against an incursion by the Central African army into Abnabak, in Salamat province. The operation, carried out on 10 October, left several soldiers and civilians seriously injured, according to Tchadinfos.

Ahmed Kogri described the events as serious and said they could not be regarded as isolated. Chad says it has recorded several incursions into its territory in the border area since 2021. The protest comes as the Central African army is also conducting operations against armed groups in Vakaga, according to Tchadinfos.
