This is a lot of the stuff people don't remember about Qaddafi. He was constantly sticking his thumbs into his neighbors' political disputes to grab territory, wealth, and influence in the region. He wanted to replace France as their colonizer.

[@robertortiz-wilson1588]

True.

[@lonelystoner3810]

He was a Liberator ... Revolutionary... he backed people that made a benefit for him in addition to their personal gripes

[@lephinor2458]

He was just another colonizer using pan-african beliefs to justify his colonization.

The dream: "We are many tribes... but we are all African." Sad reality: "My tribe over yours."

[@johnnotrealname8168]

This assumes the dream is not a nightmare.

[@ikengaspirit3063]

It is often more a faction lead my man of tribe X takes over. Cuz most people of tribe X are still gonna suffer and alot of elites from tribe A, K,J and I also enjoy.

[@strechemall]

Europeans created this clusterfuck formula especially in their transfer of colonial power to natives. Basically by giving one single tribe of their choosing all the governing power and completely ignoring the rest living in their territory. Of course in due time that single tribe began to look down on the other tribes seeing them as second class citizens and once the communist got involved and started arming those people from the ignored tribes. Europeans kicked rocks, shit got ugly. This literally happened to just about every African nation.

Good grief, there were so many back-and-forths. Btw, I really appreciate your useful and clean looking visuals!

[@erichluepke855]

For a country almost three times as large as Germany, it sounds like the war was fought by armies of fewer than 5000 on both sides. It's hard for me to imagine a war fought on such a wide and sparse front.

[@sjappiyah4071]

Well considering the geographical differences between Germany & Chad . (Germany west fertile land & forest) (Chad dry Saharan desert) it makes sense

[@Numba003]

Well, this was a big unfortunate mess. I know almost nothing about Chad, so thank you for educating me a little bit regarding its modern history. God be with you out there everybody. ✝️ :)

@@Tyronius_Maximus Islamic law has caps on how much interest is charged the same can also be applied in Marxism

[@steveguynup5441]

It's not necessarily a 50/50 split... People lean into what they care about. My friends husband was a Muslim Marxist activist from Morocco. He was more Marxist in what he pressed for. Consider that most European Marxists have Christian backgrounds. (It's more Communists that pushed down religion, albeit there's also Marx's opiate of the masses statement)

[@johnnotrealname8168]

Argent made a video on the funny acronyms. Do watch his channel. In any case, Thank You for this beauty. I always wish to know what the French were up to. Edit: Watching this, it seems that it began with perhaps understandable causes but Libya seeking it's own ends while entirely isolated by potential allies as well as the new governments increasingly accommodating rebel demands meant instead of France, Libya was the oppressive power. Fascinating stuff as usual.

[@user-wr4yl7tx3w]

what geopolitical interest did Libya have in getting involved in chad? didn't libya have enough problems to contend with already, like growing economically?

[@Sarez____-it4ks]

15:29 Libya got most of their revenue from oil. When Qaddafi came to power he nationalized the oil and launched social programs to make Libya stable, for the most part. Qaddafi wanted to oppose Western and imperial forces and was a self proclaimed revolutionary, in fact if you have heard of a terrorist or guerilla group from the 70s/80s their is a high chance Libya was involved.

sometimes i feel calling them a country makes them more consequential than they deserve to be. with a population of only 4 million in the 1970s. isn't that why EU is so dysfunctional today. a small country can cause a gridlock.

Great video! The only suggestion is that with the wackiness of French transliteration of Arabic, "ou" usually gets pronounced like a W at the beginning of words.

[@bonkerbanker]

This is som complicated! Complicated overdose!

[@kiritugeorge4684]

You missed something in all this, the difference between an arabised African and an arab. The Toubou are black Africans but have been arabised. This is important as France capitalised on the pre existing identity crisis caused by the Arab identity being embedded into Islam. This, I would say is something that can easily be reaolved through dearabising Islam for Islamic Africans but unfortunately Arabs were doing their own racialised approach to intruding into Africa which Europeans built on with their reconquista and age of discovery. That identity crisis is also present in Nigeria with its civil war, Sudan with its civil war, secession of S. Sudan and currrent war and genocide in north Sudan. It also explains the presence of Israel and European countries as they have everything to gain in maintaining Africans fractured and will capitalise on legitimate grievances i.e. South Sudan or Southern Chad.
