Tensions Rise as Chad Considers Expelling US Forces: US influence in Africa tumbles

World 13:00 26.04.2024

Speculation mounts over the potential expulsion of US forces from Chad as reports suggest a souring of relations between the Chadian government and Washington. This development follows Niger's recent decision to terminate its military cooperation agreement with the United States.

Citing sources from Oda TV, Ednews reports a gradual decline in US influence across Africa. The announcement comes on the heels of Niger's move to sever ties with US military cooperation, signaling a broader trend of diminishing American presence in the region.

Local media outlets in Chad have hinted at a possible cancellation of the military cooperation agreement between the Chadian government and the US military. Sources indicate that the Chadian government has formally notified US authorities of the potential termination of the agreement, which could entail the withdrawal of US forces stationed in Chad. While the exact number of US troops in Chad remains undisclosed, estimates place the figure at around 100 personnel.

The timing of these developments is particularly noteworthy, as Chad braces for presidential elections scheduled for May 6. The allegations concerning the expulsion of US forces add a layer of complexity to the political landscape of the Central African nation.

As tensions escalate and uncertainty looms, observers closely monitor the situation, underscoring the shifting dynamics of US engagement in Africa and its broader geopolitical implications.
