[Regnum] The Russian military has freed Chadian soldiers captured by Islamic militants. The Russian Ministry of Defense reported this on May 28.

“In Central Africa, Russian military personnel conducted a joint operation with colleagues from the Republic of Chad to free Chadian military personnel from captivity by militants of illegal armed groups,” the statement says.

The department clarified that nine months ago, Islamic militants captured 21 members of the Chadian armed forces. This happened while clearing mines at the airport in the Tibesti region.

It is noted that the terrorists kept prisoners in their camp in inhumane conditions and subjected them to torture.

The Ministry of Defense added that all prisoners were taken to a temporary base, where Russian doctors provided them with the necessary assistance and carried out operations to remove fragments. After that, under the control of Russian military personnel, they were evacuated to their homeland.

The Minister of Defense of Chad thanked Russia for the operation carried out to free the military personnel. He noted that Russia has always been a reliable partner of African countries, unlike France, Britain and the United States, which received only benefits from Africans.

As Regnum reported, the results of the presidential elections were announced in Chad. The winner was determined in the first round of voting. He became the current transitional president, Mahamat Idriss Deby, who received 61.03% of the votes.

In April, the Chadian government sent a letter to the United States of America regulating the presence of American military personnel in the country. The letter did not contain a direct demand for US troops to leave Chad, but the authorities of the African country demanded that the US military leave the base in N'Djamena.

In January 2024, Russian President Vladimir Putin, at a meeting with the transitional president of the African republic, Mahamat Idriss Déby in Moscow, said that Russia was closely monitoring what was happening in Chad.
