Chad has announced the termination of its defense cooperation agreement with France, illustrating its desire to assert sovereignty as it moves towards closer ties with Russia.
Foreign Minister Koulamallah emphasized that while France remains an essential partner, Chad is now a sovereign nation that is "very jealous of its sovereignty."
The decision to revoke the accord with France allows Chad to redefine its strategic partnerships, moving away from reliance on Western military forces.
With the shift in alliances, Chad positions itself amidst regional instability, bordering nations that host Russian paramilitary forces, further complicating its geopolitical landscape.
