Chadians participate in an Anti-French protest in N'djamena, Chad, December 6, 2024
HUNDREDS of people marched in Chad’s capital today to call for the withdrawal of French troops, a week after the central African country ended a military agreement with its former colonial ruler.
Protesters in N’Djamena chanted: “Chad for us, France out!”
Last week, Chad said it would end a defence co-operation agreement with France to redefine its strategic partnerships in line with national priorities.
