Chadian authorities have displayed a cache of weapons seized during security operations targeting the illegal possession and circulation of firearms across several provinces in eastern Chad.

The weapons according to zagazola were paraded on Thursday, September 17, 2026, following a series of security operations conducted in Wadi Fira, Ennedi East, Ouaddaï and Sila provinces.

The operations were part of ongoing efforts by the Chadian authorities to curb the proliferation of firearms and prevent their illegal possession and circulation in the eastern part of the country.

The security operations focused on identifying and confiscating illegally held weapons as part of measures aimed at strengthening security and maintaining public order across the affected provinces.

The display of the seized weapons underscores the authorities’ continued efforts to tackle the illicit circulation of firearms, which remains a security concern in parts of eastern Chad.

The authorities said the operations would support measures to “curb the proliferation of weapons and prevent their illegal possession and circulation” across the region.

The seized weapons were subsequently displayed to highlight the outcome of the security operations and the authorities’ ongoing efforts to strengthen control over firearms in eastern Chad.
