Thunberg Denounces Western Sahara Occupation; Chad Welcomes French Troops Back

Environmental activist Greta Thunberg made a surprise appearance at the Zurich Film Festival, voicing strong condemnation of Morocco's occupation of Western Sahara during a screening of the documentary "My Home of Wind and Sand." Thunberg described the film as a powerful tool for change, emphasizing the urgency of addressing the ongoing conflict.

In a separate development, Chad has welcomed the return of French military forces less than two years after the cessation of a defense agreement. This strategic shift is believed to be a response to Chad's struggle to contain the spread of Boko Haram around Lake Chad, indicating a pragmatic approach to security challenges in the region.
