Chapter 520: Magical Africa
After the end of World War II, countless new states sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, but these countries that became independent from the old colonial system were generally inseparable from the influence of the former suzerain.
Even the ecology of its domestic political structure is not defined according to the situation of its own country, but it is finalized by the former suzerainty like a cat and a tiger, so it seems that there is no problem, but people with big eggs know that it is easy to pull eggs by striding forward.
The political structure of the suzerainty is finally shaped after years of politics and economic development, just as the civil servants of Whitehall are unique in the world, and there will be no second Sir Humphrey in the world.
But there is no way to do this, because of the collapse of the old world order, the colonies that used to provide a steady stream of human resources for the suzerainty have become a burden for the overlord.
In order to get rid of these burdens, the suzerainty will not slowly teach the colony how to truly become independent, after all, the colony is really independent, and who will pay for the suzerain's bills?
This is the case in Chad, because it is located in the center of Africa and surrounded by many countries, so there are nearly 200 ethnic groups in Chad, in addition, the climatic conditions and geographical location of Chad are quite arbitrary, most of the country is desert, and only part of the south is grassland.
The same rice can raise a hundred kinds of people, not to mention that the diet and climate of the north and the south are different, so the difference between the north and the south is so highlighted, the nomads in the north believe in the first religion, and the black uncle who farms the land in the south is a mess of local sects, and when the Mediterranean shipping route is developed, those who are affected by the Ottoman influence in the north do not come to the south to fight grass valleys.
After the French colonized Chad, because the desert really had no oil and water, the French only cultivated some cotton fields in the southern steppe area, and the northern desert was simply abandoned.
And after the independence of Chad, the Chadians who believe in Christianity in the south will naturally become members of the Chadian government, as for the *** in the north, they are not familiar, they are really not familiar!
The southern government not only does not allow the north to enter the government, but even oppresses and exploits them as second-class citizens, and the north not only has to bear the conscription, but also more than 200 kinds of taxes, you must know that when the French colonized, they exploited the black uncle of the north and the south without discrimination, how did they become independent, and you southerners still boast of being superior?
Thus began the civil war, which at first divided into the government forces of the south and the Front de libération of Chad in the north, the fighting strength of the former and the latter could be seen by just looking at the name, and the government forces were not at all opponents of the north if it were not for the help of France.
However, the south was supported by France, and there were also oil fields that the French valued the most, so Charles de Gaulle, who was the president of France at the time, naturally had to let the French army help the government army to quell the rebellion.
And the Chadish was naturally no match for the French army, and when they were on the verge of extinction, they had the support of Colonel Gaddafi from their northern neighbor, the P5 Destroyer, the savior of Africa, the king of kings, Libya, because Libya and Chad had a territorial dispute, and Libya had a strong claim in the Ozu region of northern Chad, which had uranium mines, so Colonel Gaddafi was bound to do so.
Because of the many years of civil war, a large number of Chadian people fled, and the bitter neighboring countries could only jump out to mediate between the two sides, and Tombabaye and Gaddafi met each other at first sight in this situation, and the two sides not only became good brothers of iron buddies, but also settled the land dispute by the way!
Gaddafi sent $40 million to Tombaye's bank account, and the Ozu region went to Gaddafi! Without Gaddafi's support, the SAPF was once again in a desperate situation, and Tombabaye thought that he could continue to make a big deal in Chad, but unexpectedly, the army that he had purged many times suddenly staged a coup d'état.
Tombabaye has since been off the line, and he has been beaten into a sieve by the army in his pajamas!
The coup army then elected Felix Malum, the former commander of the armed forces, as head of state.
As soon as Maloum changed Tombabaye's inappropriate person, he began to actively send out peace signals and try to get the Chadian parties to stop the war and return to the negotiating table, but the problem is that Chad's problems are never solved at home, and there is still a card abroad
Zafi!
Because of Tombabaye's death, the Chadian government no longer recognized the Ozu region as Libya, so Gaddafi could only negotiate with the Chadian Liberation Front again on terms, hoping that the two sides would jointly overthrow the Chadian government.
However, because of Gaddafi's previous betrayal, the attitude of the Chacha Liberation Front towards Gaddafi was also divided, and the Chadis formation became the Vulcan Army led by Gukuni and the Northern Armed Forces led by Habré.
After that, the situation in Chad became incomprehensible to anyone, with the government army and the other three factions all fighting, the Libyan army and the Vulcan army allied against the northern armed forces and the government army, and the northern armed forces were fighting against the other three.
As a result of this war, Habred's army was driven to the border, and Libya and Vulcan were victorious, threatening to overthrow the current government in Chad.
Then, the current government of Chad invited France to send troops and Habré to form an alliance, and the two sides became two-on-two.
This war, mediated by France, has become a situation of division between the north and the south of Chad, if nothing else, then Chad will become two countries in the future, but the accident is not unexpected!
Clashes broke out between the Libyan and Vulcan armies in the north, and between the government forces and the northern armies in the south, and the Vulcan army, which had split from the Chadis formation, joined forces in the north.
This time, the Chadian government forces lost a mess, and the then-president Malum stepped down, leaving the CFD de facto controller of Chad.
But this is still not the end, because of factional conflicts, after the capture of the capital by the Chadis Front, the leader of the Vulcan Army, who became the new president, Gukuni, once again united with Gaddafi.
This time, the Libyan army had strong support from the Soviet Union, not only a large number of cutting-edge equipment, but also elite soldiers trained by Soviet instructors and a strict plan, so Habré, who was the defense minister, and his own army failed again and were driven to the border.
And this time, Habré found a strong helper, it was the United States that wanted to contain the Soviet Union, and at this time, Gukuni and Gaddafi were divided again, so Habré, with the support of the Americans, easily returned to his promised land, N'Djamena, the capital of Chad!
