Map 1. Security Incidents (Dec 2005 - Jan 2007)
In 2006, the security situation has sharply deteriorated
in eastern Chad. Clashes between Chadian security
forces and chadian rebels, incursions of janjaweed
militias and armed groups from Sudan, attacks on
villages and killing targeting of civilian population,
banditry and attacks on humanitarian organisations
have all increased. The deteriorating security
environment has resulted in limited and sporadic

The country is host to a large refugee population comprising
Sudanese refugees that fled the Darfur war since 2003, and
refugees that fled insecurity from northern Central African
Republic and crossed over into southern Chad.
In 2007, given the increased level of insecurity in Darfur and
eastern CAR, the return of refugees is hardly expected.
Instead, influxes of new refugees are expected.

The dry lands of much of eastern Chad are not conducive to
provide sustainable solutions for refugees through subsistence
agriculture. The scarcity of firewood and water is the biggest
challenge. In the north of the eastern area, consumption of
deadwood exceeds the present natural resources.
In the south, the main self-reliance activities for refugees relate
to the agricultural sector and small commerce.

of whom are women and children. IDPs remain in insecure
border areas where humanitarian access is limited. The
Chadian government and humanitarian organisations have
agreed to avoid setting up ‘camps’ for the IDPs, so as not to
create a pull-factor. IDPs are assisted through community
based programs as circumstances allowed (CAP 2007).

in at least 360 casualties and an additional 50,000
chadians being displaced.
