American troops were in Chad on a temporary basis and there was no question of their permanent presence in the country, Chad's former Interior Minister Ibrahim al Asil stated.There is a very strong sentiment among the people for the withdrawal of all foreign troops from the country, he added.Earlier, the authorities in Chad and Niger demanded that the United States withdraw its troops from their territories.As a result, Washington's regional policy is being undermined amid Moscow's growing influence among African nations, the US media reported.According to an unnamed US official cited by US media, Russia's strategic edge over the United States in Africa lies in its ability to address the continent's pressing security requirements through arms sales, which surpasses Washington's capacity.

There Was No Question of US Troops Permanent Presence in Chad, Former Interior Minister Says
Niger recently terminated a military agreement with the United States, and neighboring Chad has also threatened to cancel an agreement regarding the US military presence in their country.
American troops were in Chad on a temporary basis and there was no question of their permanent presence in the country, Chad's former Interior Minister Ibrahim al Asil stated.
There is a very strong sentiment among the people for the withdrawal of all foreign troops from the country, he added.
Earlier, the authorities in Chad and Niger demanded that the United States withdraw its troops from their territories.
As a result, Washington's regional policy is being undermined amid Moscow's growing influence among African nations, the US media reported.
According to an unnamed US official cited by US media, Russia's
strategic edge over the United States in Africa lies in its ability to address the continent's pressing security requirements through arms sales, which surpasses Washington's capacity.
