🇹🇩 Chad's government abruptly ended a defense cooperation agreement with former colonial power 🇫🇷 France, issuing the unexpected announcement just a few hours after a meeting of the foreign ministers of the two countries.

"After 66 years since the independence of the Republic of Chad, it is time for Chad to assert its full sovereignty, and to redefine its strategic partnerships according to national priorities," Chad's Foreign Minister Abderaman Koulamallah said in a statement late Thursday.

"This decision, taken after in-depth analysis, marks a historic turning point," he said.

The announcement came just hours after Koulamallah met with French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot in Chad's capital N'Djamena. Koulamallah said that the meeting took place without incident.

The French government has yet to comment.

Chad's decision will require French troops around a thousand are reportedly stationed there to leave the landlocked Central African country. Chad is the latest nation asking France to withdraw its forces, after Paris was forced to pull its military out of Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger following military coups.

Just a few hours earlier, Senegalese President Bassirou Diomaye Faye said France should close its military bases in his country.

Faye said French President Emmanuel Macron had admitted for the first time that France was responsible for a massacre of Senegalese soldiers in 1944, as the country prepares to mark the 80th anniversary of the slaughter on Sunday.

"Senegal is an independent country; it is a sovereign country and sovereignty does not accept the presence of military bases in a sovereign country,” said Faye.

The comments from Chad and Senegal come against a backdrop of Russia's ambitions to expand its foothold on the African continent — and amid political instability.

Both Chad and Senegal reiterated that the situations in their countries are different from Niger, and their decisions do not represent a break from France.

France's foreign ministry did not immediately reply to a request for a comment.

Africa will be free again.

Among all white nations, only Russia have a good history with Africa.

During the early days of Boko Haram terrorism, the US refused to sell Jonathan weapons because he refused to legalize gay & LGBTQ.

Only Russia came to our aid and sold us weapons we used in fighting terrorism.

Russia opened the eyes of the rest of the world, countries are now challenging western hegemony.

Slow nigga. How do you justify replacing a colonial master with another? Just because you love Russia? What's Africa's or Syria's gain for having Russia's cooperation or troops? Just this slow sentiment?

Mumu man. "Russia means well for Africa" How about their involvement in Ethiopia's war which was interest-based? Mumu duns.

Why isn't Russia, USA, Germany, France, China, and co-sucking up to a colonial master? They have built themselves to be self-sustainable and that is what we need in Africa, not a slow sentimental submission aimed at selling Russia to people.

Anybody who is able to read and understand the Novel, Animal Farm by George Orwell is privileged to understand how the world works.

Animal Farm,
(IT STARTS WITH ANIMALS REBELLION AGAINST MAN)

"Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals. He sets them to work, he gives back to them the bare minimum that will prevent them from starving, and the rest he keeps for himself."

"All men are enemies. All animals are comrades."

(THE NEW LAWS AFTER THEIR TRIUMPH OVER MA)

"THE SEVEN COMMANDMENTS
1. Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy.
2. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend.
3. No animal shall wear clothes.
4. No animal shall sleep in a bed.
5. No animal shall drink alcohol.
6. No animal shall kill any other animal.
7. All animals are equal."

How did it end lol 😂 😂 😂

"My sight is failing,” she said finally. “Even when I was young I could not have read what was written there. But it appears to me that that wall looks different. Are the Seven Commandments the same as they used to be, Benjamin?”

For once Benjamin consented to break his rule, and he read out to her what was written on the wall. There was nothing there now except a single Commandment. It ran:

"ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL, BUT SOME ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS".

All the seven commandments were wiped off except a modification of number 7.

😂😂😂

I am tempted to say that most Africans are born slaves, Russia like France is an imperialist. The Burkina Faso president is only appeared smart but deep down he is mentally enslaved. Gaddafi, Mandela, Rollins and OBJ are the only true African leaders the rest are white men a**s lickery

Europe and the US have lost it in Africa!

Same in Libya, they have been asked to leave!

The colonial mentality they have has ruined their reputation far and wide. The confidence to believe they have a right and say in another mans country.

Even in debts, The benefits of China and Russia alliance is still visible to Africans.

We keep owing and serving these colonizers with nothing to show for it.

France imposed conditions on its colonies before granting them independence, particularly in Africa. These agreements, often referred to as the “Colonial Pact,” established France’s control over various aspects of the newly independent nations. While the specifics varied by country, the general conditions included:

1. Monetary Control: Colonies had to adopt the CFA franc, with reserves controlled by the French Treasury.
2. Military Presence: France maintained military bases and could intervene militarily.
3. Economic Dependency: Colonies were required to prioritize trade with France, restricting access to other markets.
4. Natural Resource Exploitation: France retained control over key resources like oil, gas, and minerals.
5. Education System: The French education system and language were maintained to influence culture and governance.
6. Exclusive Trade Agreements: Former colonies could only import and export goods through France.
7. Tax Obligations: A portion of national revenue was remitted to France.
8. Defense Agreements: France controlled defense policies and decision-making in case of threats.
9. French Contractors: Public contracts were awarded primarily to French companies.
10. French Control over Currency Printing: The CFA franc could only be printed in France.
11. Customs and Tariff Policies: France dictated import/export tariffs.
12. Intellectual Property Control: Patents and knowledge rights were often retained by France.
13. Political Alliance: Colonies aligned with France in international politics.
14. Permanent French Advisors: Key ministries, such as defense, finance, and education, had French advisors embedded.

These conditions ensured France’s continued economic and political dominance over its former colonies, creating a system often criticized as “neocolonialism.”

I workw with a US based company that is into travel and deep research into colonialism. If u understand how wicked the western countries are to Africa, oh lord have merchy. U see US, France, Uk, they are ur number one enemy.
Infact, that Nigeria wants to join Bricks, I am highly suspecting that France has sent Nigeria there. In support of her western Allies, france maybe using Nigeria as a core spy to infritrate Bricks. The global politics is brutal.
For true freedom, African leaders must start investing in local science and technology.
It is a pity that we allowed Gadaffi to be killed by the west. He was building a nuclear technology and the west destroyed it because that would have given African serious power to negotiate deals globally.
He wanted an African currency and to pull off dollars out of our economy and oil, he was eliminated. He was also building a sitelight technology in Aleria to remove Africa from the European sitelight commuincation technology. Baba was on a serious giant steps but his fellow African leaders old him off.
