The US risks losing its military presence in another African country as the government of Chad sent a letter threatening to end a critical security agreement, according to four US sources, a move that threatens to cede more US influence in the region to Russia.
It’s worth noting that the move by Niger to side with Russia over France and the US was linked to a military coup and ongoing junta.
The coup only got support because the previous leaders were corrupt grifters.
Now, sure, the junta might not be much better, but there was tons of popular support for the coup.
