Heavy fighting between Chadian forces and militants is reported in the northern Kanem region, 200 km from the capital, N’Djamena.
Hundreds of people were killed and dozens were captured on both sides in the clashes.
Meanwhile, there are reports of possible intervention by Barkan’s forces, although a military battalion with more than 1,200 soldiers was sent to Chad.
It is noteworthy that on the morning of April 19, 2021, the Chadian army began to deploy tanks and armored vehicles in the capital, because the capital is experiencing a terrible security situation.
