Sudan Border Town of Tine Faces Fresh Displacement Amid Cross-Border Violence
On March 29, 2026, renewed hostilities between the RSF and Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) allies near the border town of Tine, North Darfur, led to the flight of 2,500 civilians into Chad. ACLED records show that the escalation, which involved drone strikes and heavy artillery fire, prompted the Chadian military to tighten border controls. The displaced populations are living in precarious conditions in eastern Chad, where humanitarian resources are severely strained by the persistent influx of refugees from the Darfur conflict.
