The United States is planning to temporarily withdraw some of its troops from Chad, Pentagon spokesperson Major General Patrick Ryder said.
He said it was a “temporary step” as part of an ongoing review of security cooperation with Chad, which would resume after the country’s May 6 presidential election.
Earlier this month Chad’s air force chief ordered the U.S. to halt activities at an air base near the capital N’Djamena, according to a letter sent to the transitional government.
