France negotiates new military cooperation model with Chad (defence24.com)

• France and Chad negotiating new military agreement without permanent bases.
• Focus on air power, training, and intelligence support.
• Alternatives to France have proven insufficient.

"France is rebuilding military ties with Chad roughly 18 months after being expelled. The new model avoids permanent bases, focusing instead on targeted cooperation. Priority areas include air power, training, and intelligence. Chad's need for reliable military support has grown as alternatives (UAE, Turkey, Russia) have not delivered. France aims for limited access to Adji-Kosseï air base."
