Summary

Although French actions played a fundamental role in shaping Chad’s postcolonial trajectory, by the late 1970s French policymakers became increasingly incapable of influencing outcomes. The 1979 collapse of the Chadian state marked the clear end to what one might describe as a neocolonial order. From the FAN-FAP seizure of N’Djamena that year until Habré’s victory in June 1982 and beyond, French policymakers were limited to the sidelines.
