WASHINGTON - The United States is planning to temporarily withdraw some of its troops from Chad, U.S. officials said on Thursday, a move that comes just days after Washington was forced to agree to remove its troops from neighboring Niger.
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. Interim President Mahamat Idriss Deby is running for election next month, making Chad the first of West and Central Africa's junta-ruled countries to organise a vote. Opposition groups have flagged concerns about its credibility.
In the letter dated April 4 to Chad's minister of armed forces, Air Force Chief of Staff Idriss Amine Ahmed said he had told the U.S. defence attache to halt U.S. activities at Adji Kossei Air Base after “Americans” had failed to provide documents justifying their presence there.
