France Exits Chad Military Bases as The Nation Shifts Alliances & Prioritizes Sovereignty

France has started withdrawing its military presence from Chad after the Chadian government ended a long-standing defense agreement. The move follows Chad's decision to prioritize its sovereignty and shift towards new strategic alliances. French troops have already vacated the Faya-Largeau base, with further withdrawals planned from other locations like Abeche and N'Djamena. This change reflects broader shifts in the Sahel region, as African nations reassess military partnerships and seek greater autonomy in their defense strategies. #France #Chad #MilitaryWithdrawal #Sahel #DefensePolicy #Geopolitics #Sovereignty #Africa #Alliances #GlobalSecurity #Oneindia #OneindiaNews Also Read Fire At Eiffel Tower: 1,200 Tourists Evacuated After Massive Fire At World Monument In Paris :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/fire-at-eiffel-tower-1-200-tourists-evacuated-after-massive-fire-at-world-monument-in-paris-011-4024983.html?ref=DMDesc France's Anti-Terrorism Court Convicts Eight Individuals Linked to Samuel Paty's Beheading in 2020 :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/france-anti-terrorism-court-convicts-eight-in-teacher-beheading-case-011-4022191.html?ref=DMDesc France's Anti-Terrorism Court Convicts Eight Individuals Linked to Samuel Paty's 2020 Beheading :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/frances-anti-terrorism-court-convicts-eight-in-teacher-beheading-case-011-4022189.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.362~ED.346~HT.336~GR.125~
