Second Chadian Civil War
Adré – Borota – Amdjereme – N'Djamena

The Battle of Borota took place in Borota, Chad, near the eastern city of Adre, on January 6, 2006. The attack began when Janjaweed, Sudanese militiamen, crossed the border from Sudan into Chad and attacked the cities of Borota, Ade, and Moudaina. Nine civilians were killed and three were seriously injured.

The Chadian government stated, "The Sudanese militias attacked the settlements of Borota, Ade, Moudaina... yesterday killing nine and injuring three among the civilian population... The Chadian government once again warns the Sudanese government against any hasty action because aggression by Sudanese militias will not go unpunished for much longer."

There is no outside confirmation of the attack, either by Sudan or by the African Union.
