Chad Asks US to Cease Operations at Strategic Army Base, 3 days ago:
Chad has alerted the US “to stop their activity at the base,” according to a letter to the US defense attaché seen by Bloomberg. The letter, signed by the air force chief of staff Idriss Amine Ahmed, was verified by a foreign ministry spokesman, who declined to comment further.
US broadcaster CNN on Thursday reported that Chad had asked US troops to leave the country, citing a separate letter sent to the US defense attaché.
“Chad hasn’t asked US forces to leave,” a US state department spokesman said. “The US and Chad have agreed that the period following the upcoming Chadian presidential election is an appropriate time to review our security cooperation.”
