The United States faces the potential loss of its military foothold in the African nation of Chad as government officials threatened to terminate a critical security agreement, jeopardizing American influence in the region, CNN reports.
Chadian authorities delivered a letter to the US defence attache signalling a possible cancellation of the Status of Forces Agreement, affecting the operation of US military personnel in the country. Although not explicitly mandating the departure of US forces, the letter hinted at the expulsion of all American personnel from the French base in N’Djamena, particularly impacting the US Special Operations Task Force stationed there.
