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.

    China needs to start arming and training Africa too tbh. So far it’s just been economic cooperation, but that won’t be enough to keep the US and Europe out.

        With said arms and training if the need ever arises.

        Doubt it ever will though. China seems to prefer solving things through diplomacy and trade, which is probably partly why they’re not arming and training African governments to begin with.

    I wish the US could get kicked out of southern Africa too. I think they have a base in Botswana
