The Islamic Republic has forfeited its political legitimacy due to the widespread crimes against humanity committed this past January. The international legal order cannot remain indifferent to this reality, nor can it fail to account for it in its treaties and engagements with the regime. Throughout its 48-year history, the Islamic Republic has demonstrated a complete disregard for covenants, laws, and moral principles. It routinely tramples upon its own constitution, regulations, ethical codes, and even its own jurisprudence whenever expediency demands. Consequently, it possesses neither the capacity nor the structural integrity required to enter into international pacts. Furthermore, pervasive and systemic corruption, coupled with the military’s stranglehold on the economy, precludes the regime from acquiescing to the prerequisites of foreign investment. The Islamic Republic defines its very identity through hostility toward the United States and Israel; its foundational raison d'être is the subversion of these nations. How could it possibly survive in the absence of this manufactured enmity? The volatile state of Iranian society is such that the disenfranchised, grieving, and suffering masses may take to the streets for a national revolution at any given moment. How can a nation in such a precarious state be deemed ready for a major, transborder accord? In light of this, why does the United States persist in pursuing an agreement with this regime? Why does Europe shake the blood-stained hands of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)despite its extensive chronicle of global atrocitiesاwhile turning a blind eye to eighty million Iranians? Why is a world that proclaims itself the herald of freedom, democracy, and human rights, weaving new shackles for the Iranian nation, thereby repeating and perpetuating their bloody history of captivity? Why has the world bartered our plight, and the forty thousand corpses left in our hands, for a mere pittance

Here is a modest proposal: No transborder kinetic projectiles. If Hezbollah does not fire rockets into Northern Israel, Israel does not get to shoot rockets, drop bombs, etc., into Southern Lebanon. That could be enforced by a suitably placed 3rd party radar.

Serious question: had Iran previously murder Jews in transborder nations like Argentina? Not “bedrock international law”

Serious question: Did the New York Times run a single article noting that the US-Israeli attack on Iran violated the bedrock international law against transborder aggression that's enshrined in the UN Charter (a treaty ratified by the US, whose constitution says treaties, once ratified, become the 'law of the land')?

CHAPTER 2 – GEOPOLITICAL ANALYSIS: THE BROTHERS OF THE SAME BLOOD – ZAGHAWA, RSF, UAE, AND THE CORRIDOR OF CHAOS Geopolitically, Chad is locked within a lethal vice. On one flank, the RSF (heavily reinforced by the United Arab Emirates via continuous arms corridors and Darfuri gold lines) is systematically eradicating non-Arab indigenous communities, primarily the Zaghawa. On the alternate flank, Kaka’s regime—itself deeply anchored in the Zaghawa identity—must manage this catastrophic humanitarian influx while protecting its cross-border tribal cousins. The international borders have disintegrated into structural sieves: weapons, combatants, and displaced populations flow in both directions without any state oversight. The United Arab Emirates plays a highly complex, dual game across the Sahel and Sudan: funding and arming the RSF while simultaneously underwriting massive strategic investments and financial partnerships with N’Djamena. Although Chad occasionally complains about RSF drone incursions or tactical provocations on Zaghawa border strongholds, the presidency remains structurally dependent on facilitating UAE logistics based on immediate survival metrics. Within this chaotic landscape, Darfuri rebel factions (generic "Toroboro," specifically the Sudan Liberation Army) find an organic sanctuary in Chad; they share an existential enemy (the RSF) and deep genetic roots with the ruling elite in N’Djamena. The "discreet" and systematic insertion of Sudanese Zaghawa fighters into the DGssIE, the FIR, and the Eastern Joint Forces is not a mere internal administrative adjustment; it is a calculated geostrategic counter-measure against the RSF expansion. The objective is to construct a military force bound by blood, capable of holding the eastern border without relying on the traditional regular army, which remains ethnically diverse and politically unreliable during a supreme crisis. However, this is a dangerous gamble: importing foreign allegiances could trigger a severe domestic backlash if tribal internal interests ever diverge (as Minnawi has subtly threatened). The Tumultuous Interrogation: Is Chad exploiting the Sudanese humanitarian tragedy... or is it a mere puppet being moved across a geopolitical chessboard fueled by blood and gold bullion? Are UAE officials laughing in their air-conditioned palaces as they watch Zaghawa factions on both sides of the border kill each other or forge alliances according to the shifting winds of the Sahel? Cruel Poetry: Will the northern sand ever distinguish Chadian veins from Sudanese lines? It blends them together, entombs them deep, where the cold sun shines. And it laughs in the dark when the rulers believe, in their desperate pride, That a uniform of state khaki can ever keep the secrets of the blood inside! CHAPTER 3 – STRATEGIC ANALYSIS: TOWARD A "NATIONAL" ARMY OR A TRANSBORDER PRAETORIAN GUARD? THE EXISTENTIAL RISKS Strategically, this intensive ethnic enlistment is a high-risk, short-sighted gamble. In the immediate term, it tightens the regime's iron grip on elite operational units (DGssIE FIR) amidst multi-directional threats: the RSF at the eastern border, armed rebellions in the north and south, Boko Haram cells in Lake Chad, and the severe security vacuum generated by the steady withdrawal of French forces. A military structure composed of cross-border cousins bound by blood is deemed more reliable for throne protection than a standard national army based on citizenship. Over the medium and long term, this methodology acts as a lethal structural poison: 1. The Deep Internal Fracture: Regular Chadian soldiers and officers outside the tribal core feel explicitly excluded, systematically marginalized, and morally humiliated. The military doctrine crumbles, and institutional cohesion vanishes. The existential question remains: when will these domestic units turn their weapons against the foreign enlistees?

#Chad 🇹🇩 #CousinsOfTheSand #ZaghawaEnlistment #ChadianArmyDecline #HijackedSovereignty #KakaPraetorianGuard #SahelCrisis #TheReality 🇹🇩 CHAD IN NOVEL N°378: THE COUSINS OF THE SAND: THE CLAN-BASED ARCHITECTURE OF THE "CHADIAN ARMY" Location: The deep red dunes of Eastern Chad (Abéché, Tiné, Amdjarass, Adré, Iriba), where the desert wind carries both the agonizing cries of refugees and the distant roar of tactical pick-ups, and the executive military headquarters of the DGSSIE and FIR in N’Djamena. Theme: The exploitation of the Sudanese tragedy (from April 2023 to June 2026) as a geostrategic and military fuel for ethnic enlistment within Chad, and the structural insertion of Darfuri "cousins" to fortify a dynastic throne. CHAPTER 1 – POLITICAL ANALYSIS: THE FAMILY ENTERPRISE EXPANDS – FROM REFUGEE CAMPS TO THE COUSINS' BARRACKS The red sand of Eastern Chad has never been a passive background; it is an active geopolitical operative. Since 2023, it has absorbed continuous, silent waves of thousands of Darfuri Zaghawa fleeing the genocidal campaigns executed by Hemedti’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Abéché is swelling, Tiné is overflowing, and Amdjarass has officially mutated into a hyper-strategic logistical hub. Yet, Mahamat Kaka’s regime does not look at these massive human arrivals through a purely humanitarian lens: it visualizes them as fresh, tribal blood designed to re-engineer an army that has never been genuinely "national." Politically, this represents the absolute structural continuity of the Déby system: a tribal, clan-based fortress disguised as a sovereign state. The DGSSIE—the presidential praetorian guard historically monopolized by the Zaghawa and Bideyat core—and the Rapid Intervention Force (FIR), commanded by Kaka's direct cousin General Ousmane Adam Dicki, have always functioned like privately owned family corporations. Incorporating "Sudanese cousins" is not a deviation from institutional norms; it is a logical systemic expansion. As Minni Minnawi boldly stated on RFI: the descendants of the 2003 refugee waves are already fully integrated within the ranks of the Chadian Presidential Guard and the regular units. Today, with over 1.3 million new arrivals, the demographic reservoir is immense. General Ousmane Barh Mahamat Itno—coordinator of the Eastern operational sectors and joint mixed forces—perfectly embodies this transborder web: he manages the physical frontier, regulates the human flows, and negotiates informal operational alliances with anti-RSF Darfuri rebel factions. The regime's tactical framework is far too sophisticated to grant these foreign fighters high-ranking constitutional commands overnight; the process is much more insidious: it aims to structurally dilute the "indigenous Chadians" (those outside the tribal circle) within a massive, homogenous block bound by absolute blood loyalty. Within this framework, historical Chadian soldiers remain subalterns—unpaid, ill-equipped, and marginalized. Conversely, the cross-border newcomers, selected strictly on genetic profiling, enjoy immediate financial bonuses, cutting-edge military hardware, and rapid promotional trajectories within elite battalions. This is institutionalized transborder nepotism. The Tumultuous Interrogation : Is Chad still a sovereign republic, or has it mutated into an extended Zaghawa family corporation that has completely confiscated the state khaki uniform? When genetic lineage supersedes national documentation, who is actually defending the country's sovereignty? Welcome to Chad, a nation where even a foreign refugee can execute a meteoric military career... provided they carry the approved DNA. HassaN Al-ProfessoЯ

The sun is shining over the airfield as the final week of Spring begins, and the first of today's more than 150,000 travellers are making their way through the terminals. Today's travellers are just a few of the 1,021,000 people projected to arrive or depart this week — nearly the same as the population of Nova Scotia. We're also expecting a busy day on the airfield, with more than 1,050 flights scheduled to arrive from or depart to destinations in dozens of countries around the world. Here's a look at today's flight breakdown by sector: • Domestic: 431 • Transborder: 372 • International: 253

We won't blockade the border as long as the war lasts. Don't worry. Just look at a map of Europe, with roads, transborder connections, goods and capital flows, etc. Poland is semi-paripherial in this framework, but Ukraine full peripherial, ruined by war, with population decline.

It's a Saturday. I expected to eat, drink, swim, read Book 3 of The Lord of Rings series—you know, soak in the weekend in pleasant solitude. Well, it was initially going as planned but now here I am, taking special book orders and discussing urgent transborder shipments.

And here's media historian Rebecca Scales on transborder radio listening in interwar Europe:
