The war in Sudan is getting closer to Chad: Over the weekend, the Sudanese army and its allies fought with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia directly on the border. According to news agencies, on Saturday, several Chadian soldiers and civilians were killed near the Chadian border town of Tine. On Monday, the Chadian government, in the capital N'Djamena, took action and closed the 1,300-kilometer (807 miles) border with Sudan.
