France is escalating hostilities in Chad – Analys

According to Evariste N’Garlem Tolde of RT, the African nation can maintain its security without the aid of outside forces.

Political analyst Evariste N’Garlem Tolde told RT on Wednesday that Chad does not require the French army to maintain its security.

As a result of opposition leaders signing a unified statement calling for French troops to leave the nation, anti-French sentiment has been escalating in Chad.

Tolde claims that despite the presence of more than ten French bases in Chad, the French army accomplishes nothing there. We haven’t noticed any changes in Chad since the French army arrived there. There, the terrorists are becoming more powerful, he said, adding that this is similar to what is occurring in Mali and Burkina Faso.

Tolde said, “They [France] stir up tensions everywhere they interfere.” He “acts as if the French still dominate” the African nation, believing that France is taking advantage of Chad’s resources.

Resentment against France’s presence in its former colonies in Africa has been growing recently, particularly in Mali, Chad, Niger, and Burkina Faso. For the fight against armed organisations affiliated with the Islamic State and al-Qaeda, France has sent hundreds of soldiers.

After the anti-French forces’ successful coup, President Emmanuel Macron declared on September 24 that France will remove its diplomats and military from Niger. By the end of the year, the approximately 1,500 soldiers who are currently stationed there will leave.

Nearly a month after the military authorities in the African nation of Niger ordered his expulsion, the French ambassador, Sylvain Itte, departed for Paris three days after that declaration.
