A joint border force was launched by Libya and Chad to strengthen security along their shared frontier. The mission is directed by Lieutenant General Saddam Haftar of the Libyan National Army. The force unites Libya’s ground troops, border guards and desert patrol units with Chad’s army to counter smuggling, armed groups and trafficking across the Sahel Sahara. Analysts say the move reflects rising regional threats and the urgent need to secure Libya’s remote desert borders.
