Invasion of Chad

Military action

2004
2007


The invasion of Chad was a military conflict spanning from 2003 to 2007 between the State of Chad, supported by a French led coalition and the Central African Nation, an anarchist cell that seized power in Chad after the fall of the former autocratic government.  

Background

Since the Singularity Chad experienced social turmoil by both progressive and regressive elements who vied for control of the government. This led to the government slowly losing control of the country and a large increase of American and French troops to reinforce the government position. By 1997 the Chadian government had been exiled to Cameroon and held no control over the country that was mostly controlled by the Muslim League.   The ML was opposed by American and French forces as well as the locally grown CAN which was gaining popularity among Chad’s population and among African meta humans which saw the conflict as a way to seize autonomy from the west.   The CAN defeated the ML thanks to their larger meta human force and seized control over most of the country, with the exception of southern enclaves under allied control. The CAN declared itself the rightful government of Chad, reneged agreements made by the Chadian government in exile and requested for the allied forces to withdraw from Chad.   Tensions escalated between the allies and the CAN, until 2004 when the CAN ordered the arrest of prominent Chadian officials under allied protection which prompted the invasion as retaliation.  

History

The problem of perception Initially the allied powers had a fair amount of support for the war, as the CAN was seen as a rogue government not that different from the ML before them. Thanks to this perception of righteousness the allied powers managed to deploy many meta human volunteers to counter the CAN meta humans. This backfired for the allies as the volunteering meta humans often became the harshest critics of the war.   As the war progressed the meta human community started boycotting the war, which severely hampered the allied effort and led to their ultimate defeat in 2007.
