This incursion, as well as other increasingly active violent armed groups at Chad’s borders is putting Idriss Deby under pressure from an economic crisis and several years of social unrest.

The Ara 2 MRAP has the capacity to carry up to 12 personnel plus equipment and can be configured into multiple variants including recovery, command and control, ambulance, field kitchen and reconnaissance. The vehicle can be armed with a 12.7 mm machinegun can be mounted on a 360-degree roof turret which can be open or fully enclosed.
