The United States is set to withdraw its troops from Chad, marking another setback for its Africa policy.
This move follows the recent decision to withdraw over 1,000 military personnel from Niger.
According to New York Times, the Pentagon is being compelled to reduce its troop presence due to the demands of African governments to renegotiate the terms and conditions of their cooperation.
These countries are seeking terms that align more closely with their own interests. While the withdrawal from Niger is definite, U.S. officials are hopeful that talks on security cooperation can resume after the upcoming elections in Chad.
This withdrawal coincides with a shift in alliances, as countries like Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso are increasingly turning towards Russia for partnerships or exploring closer security ties.
