The African country doesn’t need external forces to ensure its security, Evariste N’Garlem Tolde told RT.
Chad does not need the French army to ensure its security, political analyst Evariste N’Garlem Tolde told RT.
Anti-French sentiment has been growing in Chad as opposition leaders have signed a joint statement demanding that French troops leave the country.
According to Tolde, there are more than ten French bases in Chad but the French army does nothing in the country. “Since the French army entered Chad, we have not seen any changes in the country. Terrorists are growing stronger there,” he explained, adding that this bears a resemblance to what is happening in Mali and Burkina Faso.
“Every time they [France] interfere somewhere, they create tensions,” Tolde stated. He believes that France is exploiting Chad’s resources and “acts as if the French still dominate” the African country.
