Renewed violence has erupted in the Miski area of Chad’s Tibesti province, undermining previous peace efforts such as the April 2025 agreement. On October 14, 2026, clashes occurred between security forces and the Miski Self-Defense Committee in the Emi-Koussi department, resulting in casualties on both sides.

Local leaders have called for the implementation of the Bardaï agreements and the establishment of a permanent dialogue mechanism to address long-standing tensions, particularly those involving gold mining resources. The instability has prevented the restoration of essential public services like healthcare and education.

Following the October 14 attack on a mining brigade position, the N’Djamena prosecutor’s office announced legal proceedings against four suspects. Authorities seized military equipment, including bazookas and sniper rifles, during the arrests. The suspects face charges of assassination, criminal conspiracy, and undermining the integrity of the state.
