Chad's government has announced its decision to terminate a defense cooperation agreement with France, marking a significant historical moment as the nation seeks to redefine its sovereignty from its former colonial ruler.
Foreign ministry spokesperson Abderaman Koulamallah emphasized that this decision allows Chad to reshape its strategic partnerships to align with national priorities, reflecting a new direction for the country.
The move comes amid a broader regional shift where countries like Niger and Mali have moved away from French military support, increasingly aligning with Russian influences across the Sahel.
Chad's interim president, Mahamat Deby Itno, is navigating a crucial period following the overthrow of his father, seeking to assert the nation's autonomy and redefine its military affiliations.
