RSF acknowledges clash with Chadian army after border incursion
2026-01-21
[SudanTribune] Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on Monday acknowledged its troops clashed with the Chadian army after crossing into Chad, calling the incident an “unintentional mistake.”

The paramilitary force expressed regret for the “unintended clashes,” saying the incursion occurred while its forces were pursuing Sudanese army troops and allied Joint Force members. The RSF alleged these forces had entered Sudan from Chad in a “calculated plan” to provoke a confrontation between the RSF and N’Djamena.
Hammer and anvil, right?
The RSF said its units crossed the frontier without prior knowledge of the exact boundaries due to the “similar nature of the terrain” in border regions. It accused Minni Arko Minawi, leader of the Sudan Liberation Movement, and Gibril Ibrahim, leader of the Justice and Equality Movement, of orchestrating the move to spark a regional crisis.

The force said it respected Chadian sovereignty and pledged to hold those responsible accountable under its internal regulations.
