The meeting concluded with the approval of a new operational plan—Mission Sentinelle—proposed by the G5 Sahel Joint Force. This initiative aims to deploy additional military units equipped with both fixed and mobile surveillance posts along the border.

The strategy emphasizes three key objectives:

• Intensified monitoring of suspicious movements to deter cross-border threats.
• Quicker response times for joint forces to address security incidents promptly.
• Stronger collaboration between Chadian and Central African defense teams to improve regional security coordination.
