The Chad Civil War started in 1979 when military leaders couldn’t make a stable government and war broke out between military and rebel forces in Chad.

In total nearly 40,000 people died during the Civil War.

France, the former colonial power, and Chad's northern neighbour Libya have both become involved at various times throughout the civil war. A Libyan peace deal in 2002 failed to put an end to the fighting. In 2003, conflict in the neighbouring Darfur region in Sudan leaked across the border into Chad.

This all happened because the Chad military leaders overthrew the government and killed Chad's president because after the French colonization they could maintain a stable government so the military leaders thought they could but they couldn't and then it was war.
