End of an Era: Chad and France Cease Military Collaboration
Chad has officially ended its defense cooperation agreement with France, marking a significant shift in its foreign and military policy.
The decision aims to redefine Chad’s sovereignty and adjust its strategic partnerships to align with national priorities.
This move follows a regional trend, as other Sahel nations like Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso have recently distanced themselves from French military influence.
France had maintained a substantial presence in Chad, working with regional forces against Islamic extremism, but this era now appears to be closing.
