The exact number of US troops in the country is not clear but one US official said there are fewer than 100 troops there. But the official said Chad’s threat to terminate the SOFA agreement blindsided US officials. The move comes at a critical time for US interests in Africa, as American officials have warned that Russian influence is expanding across the continent. While in the country, Langley met with Chadian military leaders including Gen. Abakar Abdelkerim Daoud, Chad’s Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces, according to an AFRICOM press release at the time.

It’s hard not to be swept up in Davis-Woodhall’s approach to the long jump, especially when she finds reason to laugh even in the heat of fierce competition. “My entire memo is have fun,” she tells CNN Sport. Long jump is one track and field discipline which governing body World Athletics seems interested in developing, such as by introducing a take-off zone in the place of a fixed board. “I think it might be a little silly,” she says, “just because you kind of take away from the principle of long jump. That’s even more true for an athlete like Davis-Woodhall, currently jumping further and with more confidence than ever before.

The 38-year-old Froome said in a recent interview that competing at this year's Tour was his "ultimate goal" after his hopes at last year's race were derailed by a positive COVID-19 test. "It was a tough decision to select our Tour de France team this year but we feel we selected eight riders best suited to fulfilling our performance objectives," said IPT General Manager Kjell Carlstrom. Froome told Global Cycling Network that he was disappointed with the decision. "I respect the team's decision and will take some time before refocusing on objectives later in the season and returning to the Tour de France in 2024."

Sursa foto: captură videoAdolescentă de culoare, împușcată mortal de polițiști în Ohio, cu o oră înainte de verdictul în dosarul George FloydUn nou caz cu potențial exploziv a avut loc marți în statul american Ohio, unde polițiștii au împușcat o tânără de culoare, în timp ce părea că aceasta atacă cu un cuțit o altă persoană, scrie AFP, citată de Agerpres. Poliţia americană a împuşcat mortal marţi o adolescentă de culoare în oraşul Columbus din statul Ohio, în nordul SUA, în timp ce părea să atace cu un cuţit o altă persoană, cu mai puţin de o oră înainte de condamnarea fostului poliţist Derek Chauvin pentru uciderea lui George Floyd. Poliţia a publicat, de asemenea, o parte din înregistrarea de la o cameră de filmat de mici dimensiuni purtată de poliţistul care a împuşcat-o pe adolescentă. O adolescentă o atacă pe alta cu ceea ce pare a fi un cuţit, apoi sunt auzite focuri de armă, iar fata cade la pământ. Potrivit primarului, poliţistul, al cărui nume nu a fost făcut public, „a acţionat pentru a proteja o altă tânără a comunităţii noastre”.
