N´DJAMENA: A new bout of intercommunal violence has left 18 people dead, including women and children, in a southwestern region of Chad, according to a new government toll.
“A deadly clash occurred on June 19, 2025 in the village of Oregomel, Mayo-Kebbi Ouest province, resulting in 18 deaths including women and children, and 17 injured,” the communications minister and government spokesperson, Gassim Cherif Mahamat, said late Saturday.
On Friday, the general delegate of the provincial government, Abdelmanane Katab, had announced 17 deaths to AFP, including eleven children and six women, in what he attributed to a “vendetta” led by “armed herders with machetes”.
