 Anti-French protests break out in Chad


Hundreds of people marched in Chad on Friday to call for the withdrawal of French troops from the country, a week after the Central African country ended a military agreement with its former colonial ruler, AP reported.


Protesters in the capital, N’Djamena, chanted “Chad for us, France out!” with some holding banners that read, “We do not want to see a single French person in Chad.”


Last week, Chad announced in a statement it would end a defense cooperation agreement with France to redefine its strategic partnerships in line with national priorities. France has maintained about 1,000 troops in Chad, and the statement didn’t specify when they have to leave.


Some protesters on Friday went to a military airbase where French soldiers are stationed and called for their departure. Others gathered in front of the French embassy where they faced a very strong security belt of the Chadian army securing the embassy.


“We no longer want the French presence in Chad," the former Minister of Public Health, Dr. Hissein Massar, said. "This protest will stop once the French leave Chad,” he added.


Chad was one of the last countries in the region in which France maintained a large military presence, having been ousted in recent years from Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso after years of fighting insurgents alongside regional troops.


Chad’s interim president, Mahamat Deby Itno, seized power after his father was killed fighting rebels in 2021. Last year, the government announced it was extending the 18-month transition for two more years, which led to protests across the country.


Chad said the decision to end the agreement in no way calls into question its historical ties with France and that it wants to maintain relations in other areas of common interest.
