Chad ends military cooperation with France

Chad’s foreign minister on Thursday said his country was putting an end to its military cooperation with former colonial power France, saying “Chad has grown up, matured and is a sovereign state that is very jealous of its sovereignty”. Chad was France’s last foothold in the Sahel and has been a key partner for its military presence in Africa.
