„Kérem, telepítsen magyar fegyveres erőket szuverén területünkre” – itt van a csádi elnök Orbánnak küldött 2023-as levele

Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno, the Chadian president, indicated in a letter to Orbán Viktor that Hungarian troops could intervene against armed terrorist groups in Chad. This letter provided a legal basis for the presence of Hungarian soldiers in Chad, where military operations were planned. Although the Hungarian parliament approved a military mission in 2023, troops have not yet been deployed. The Hungarian Defense Ministry was working on extending the authorization for this mission, which was ultimately not approved. The situation in Chad is complex, with ongoing conflicts and a history of violence against the government. The Hungarian mission was framed as a way to address migration issues in the region, although critics questioned its effectiveness.
