“France will not let anybody question or threaten, today or tomorrow, Chad’s stability and territorial integrity. France will be here to ensure that the promise, which was;made;will be;realized;for all patriots. Stability, inclusiveness, dialogue and democratic transition – this is what we want. We are by your side”.
