France-Tchad: Military Cooperation Revived

France and Chad are reviving their military cooperation, two years after the breakdown of their defense agreement and the withdrawal of French troops from the country. The two states signed an intent declaration in Paris to define new areas of cooperation, in a context where N'Djamena is seeking to diversify its military partners. For Paris, the challenge is to re-establish ties with a strategic ally in the Sahel.
