In early October 2026, the Sultan of Dar Ouaddaï, Chérif Abdelhadi Mahadi, issued a call for peace to address challenges caused by the early migration of herders toward southern agricultural zones due to scarce rainfall. Acting as president of the Social Cohesion and Cultural Development Commission, the Sultan called for the mobilization of local tribal and village chiefs to promote dialogue and protect social harmony. By late October, local authorities in the Aboudeïa department launched a formal sensitization campaign to prevent community tensions. Prefect Mahamat Soumaïne Hassan and several canton chiefs have been touring sub-prefectures to advocate for the strict respect of transhumance corridors. These efforts follow violent clashes in the Mouray sub-prefecture that resulted in 12 deaths and 3 injuries. Officials are also visiting nomadic camps to promote environmental protection and the prevention of bushfires near the Zakouma National Park reserve. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-24: Authorities in Aboudeïa launch peace campaign to prevent farmer-herder conflicts Chadian authorities in Aboudeïa and Darasna are conducting awareness campaigns to prevent conflicts between herders and farmers following recent deadly clashes in the Mouray sub-prefecture. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/authorities-in-aboudea-launch-peace-campaign-to-prevent-farmer-herder-conflicts ### 2026-10-05: Sultan of Dar Ouaddaï calls for peace amid transhumance challenges The Sultan of Dar Ouaddaï in Chad has called for peace and dialogue between herders and farmers to prevent conflicts arising from early seasonal transhumance driven by drought. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/sultan-of-dar-ouadda-calls-for-peace-amid-transhumance-challenges --- Cite as: Chad transhumance conflict prevention efforts.
