The Chadian Civil War refers to a series of conflicts in Chad that began in 1965 and continued intermittently until 2010. The war involved various rebel groups fighting against the government, which was often supported by foreign powers. The conflict was fueled by ethnic tensions, economic struggles, and political power struggles, leading to significant loss of life and displacement of people. Throughout the war, several key figures emerged, including Hissène Habré, who ruled Chad from 1982 to 1990, and Idriss Déby, who took power after Habré's ousting. The civil war had lasting impacts on Chad's political landscape and contributed to ongoing instability in the region.
