Russian operatives worked in Chad in 2024 to pull the country closer to Moscow and away from Western influence, internal documents reviewed by an international media consortium reveal. The papers show efforts to build ties with Chadian authorities, spread anti-Western narratives and target opposition figure Succès Masra during a tense election year.
The documents were analysed as part of the investigative series Propaganda Machine, led by the pan-African outlet The Continent and the investigative network Forbidden Stories, with RFI among the participating media.
