Tuesday, November 4, 2025 - The government of Chad have reportedly closed its border
with Nigeria over the threat of military invasion by President Donald Trump.
Recall that last Friday, October 31, President Trump
declared Nigeria as a ‘’Country of Particular Interest' following reports of a
Christian genocide in Nigeria.
A post on X by security and counterinsurgency expert,
Zagazola Makama, claims that the Chadian government have since closed their
borders.
“Military
sources in N’Djamena confirmed on Monday that President Mahamat Idriss Déby
Itno ordered a complete military lockdown along the Nigerian border after
intelligence suggested that terrorist elements from northern Nigeria were
preparing to flee into Chadian territory.
According to
the sources, the Chadian army has been placed on full alert, with troops and
armoured vehicles deployed across key border corridors linking the two
countries.
The
President was quoted as warning that “no armed group or foreign force will be
allowed to enter Chadian soil under any disguise” he said
The move comes amid heightened regional tension and
growing speculation over America’s alleged military activities in parts of West
Africa.
Security analysts said the closure was a preventive
measure aimed at safeguarding Chadian sovereignty and preventing possible
infiltration by armed groups exploiting regional instability.
