The United States “CNN” reported on Thursday (18th) that the United States, according to four US sources, is in danger of losing its military presence in another African country because the Chadian government in Africa threatens to terminate an important security agreement more regional influence for Russia.
The Chadian government sent a letter to the US attaché last week threatening to cancel the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA), which sets out the rules and conditions for the movement of US military personnel in Chad, although the letter asking directly to the US. military personnel evacuate Chad, but demand that all US troops evacuate the French base in N’Djamena.
The letter specifically mentions the US Special Operations Task Force (SOTF) at the base, which is an important hub for US special operations forces in the region. This unit is not the only US military unit, as all US troops in Chad are stationed. it is here.
Sources revealed that the letter was sent by Chadian Air Force Chief of Staff Idriss Amine, which appeared to be a strange way of conveying important information. The letter was written in French (one of Chad’s official languages) and in Amin’s official letter. However, the letter was not sent through official diplomatic channels, which is not the standard way of dealing with such matters.
Some sources believe that the letter could be a negotiating tactic by the Chadian government to reach a new deal that is more favorable to their interests. The exact number of US troops stationed in Chad is unclear, but according to US officials, it is less than 100.
The Chadian government has yet to comment. It is worth noting that the Nigerian military government terminated its cooperation agreement with the US military a month ago. Sources indicate that the Chadian leadership is following Niger’s lead and trying to use this opportunity to force the United States to make more concessions.
The move comes at a critical time for US interests in Africa, with US officials warning that Russian influence is expanding across the continent. A pilot in Nigeria filed a formal complaint, accusing the US ambassador and military attache in Nigeria of “deliberately suppressing intelligence” in an attempt to “maintain the illusion of good relations between the two countries.”
