France is back in Chad less than two years after ending decades of military ties. So, what changed?
After withdrawing troops from Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, and Chad, France moved away from permanent bases, focusing instead on training local forces, sharing intelligence, and providing limited air support.
Chad explored security ties with Russia, Türkiye, and the UAE, but with mixed results, paving the way for renewed cooperation with France.
Is this the start of a new France-Africa partnership, or simply a strategic reset?
Watch Firstpost Africa tonight at 11 PM IST with Alyson Le Grange.
