 A Mother's Day Nightmare in Princeton, Illinois. A 3-year-old boy was struck by gunfire as police burst into a barricaded room, ending a frightening hostage situation.

 France hands over second army base in Chad


France have handed over its second army base in Chad as part of an agreement with the country's authorities to withdraw its military forces, according to AFP.


The Central African country in late November abruptly ended military cooperation with its former colonial ruler, and French troops began leaving the country in late December.


Around 100 troops left the Abeche base on Saturday, after equipment convoys departed on Friday evening.


The French army had around 1,000 personnel in Chad.

French soldiers and fighter aircraft have been stationed in Chad almost continuously since the country's independence in 1960, "helping to train the Chadian military."


"Partnerships evolve but the friendship remains between our two nations, as does the solidarity between two sovereign nations that will continue to move forward side by side as they always have," French Embassy representative Fabien Talon said at the event.


The Central African country was the last Sahel nation to host French troops.
