Chad has announced the termination of its military cooperation agreement with France, marking a significant shift in its foreign relations. The decision follows rising anti-French sentiment and aims to redefine Chad's strategic partnerships. French military assets, including Mirage jets, have begun returning to France as the withdrawal process commences.
Chad's decision to end military ties with France comes amid growing anti-French sentiment in the region, particularly following military coups in neighboring countries. The move reflects Chad's desire to assert its sovereignty and explore new partnerships, particularly with Russia and the UAE.
