Hostilities in the west of Chad between the military and rebels who launched an insurgency earlier this month from bases in Libya has continued.
According to a spokesman for the country’s military council, the recent clash was in the Kanem region near the border with Niger.
The area according to reports is close to where former President Idriss Déby was fatally wounded whilst visiting troops on the front line 10 days ago.
