How much of a threat is Sudan’s conflict to Chad?

The fighting in Sudan between its army and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces has largely continued despite a ceasefire.

So far, the crisis has forced more than 20,000 people to flee to neighbouring Chad.

But the impact of the crisis goes beyond the immediate displacement of Sudan’s people.

Analysts warn the unrest could pose a serious threat to the stability of Chad and the region as a whole.

So, how will Chad deal with the conflict in its eastern neighbour?
