Madar (N'Djamena) - The locality of Daboua in Chad's Lac province, a few kilometres from the border with Niger, has for about eight days become a refuge for new nomadic returnees arriving from Niger, who are living there in precarious conditions, the Tchadinfos website reported on Thursday 12 November 2026.
According to the same source, the group is made up of men, women and children, mostly nomadic herders. Their tribal chief said more people were still on their way to join them, suggesting the influx could grow in the coming days.
The government's delegate general to Lac province, General Saleh Haggar Tidjani, visited the site on Wednesday 11 November, accompanied by defence and security officials, administrative and civilian authorities and partners, to look into the conditions in which the families are being received and assess their urgent needs.
On the sidelines of the visit, a consultation meeting between the authorities and partners examined migration flows from Niger and set out the measures needed to care for the returnees. The provincial authorities have not yet made public the details of the measures adopted.
Lac province, in the Lake Chad basin, regularly faces insecurity.
