This post published on December 1, 2024, reads: “Chad vs France: Chadians invaded the streets of N’djamena to support the denunciation of the defense agreement with the Macronian army and demand their departure without delay.” In the photo accompanying the comment, we see many individuals walking in a street, some holding the flag of Chad in their hands.
PesaCheck has reviewed this post and found it to be partially false.
A reverse image search with Google Lens allowed PesaCheck to find the image for verification in this article, published on October 20, 2022 on the site Beninwebtv.comwith this caption: “Violent repression of the demonstration by tear gas and live ammunition this morning in N’djamena in Chad (Thursday October 20, 2022)”.
The same image is visible in this other article entitled: “Chad: demonstrations against the extension of the transition” published on October 20, 2022 by the Brazza’s Diary. The author informs that: “the demonstrators demanded, at the time, the departure of General Mahamat Idriss Deby Itno, invested Monday October 10, 2022 President of the transition for an additional period of two years, at the end of the Inclusive National Dialogue and sovereign (DNIS)”.

Speaking of Chad–France military cooperation, a Google search with the same keywords led PesaCheck to this article, posted online on November 29, 2024 by The World. The title of the said article is as follows: “Chad breaks its defense cooperation agreements with France, announces the Chadian Minister of Foreign Affairs”.
The French newspaper cites a press release from the Chadian authorities, which dates from November 28, 2024. The information was taken up by numerous media as we can for example see here and here.
PesaCheck initiated new searches on Google and Facebook, with the keywords “Protests in Chad” and was directed to posts that spoke of support for Chad’s decision to end its military cooperation with France. However, the photo analyzed by PesaCheck has no relation to this news.
