The Chadian government explodes in Civil War after years of racial tensions


Almost immediately after the Singularity Chad found itself once again involved in a civil war against northern insurgents. The situation deteriorated as Sudan proclaimed itself the Eastern Caliphate, followed by Nigeria and Niger being taken by the western Caliphate who then turned to Chad and Cameroon.   A coalition led by France and the United States intervened in the war in support of Chad but failed to penetrate beyond Cameroon, which allowed for the rebel forces to take hold of the country.   By 1994 a rogue Libyan squadron crossed the border to Chad and joined the war in favor of the Chadian government. Libya refuted any connection to this squad and maintained a neutral position in the Chad conflict, as they were focused in protecting their Eastern border, as Egypt was highly unstable.   This squad liberated the north of Chad quite easily, thanks to the caliphate forces being concentrated in the south to face against the allied coalition, the locals being afraid of a genocide occurring under the caliphate rule and there not being all that much to liberate in northern Chad. Nevertheless their achievements spread like wildfire around the continent reigniting opposition against the caliphate under their banner. The squadron was soon recruiting refugees from Sudan, Niger, Nigeria and Egypt under their banner.   The squadron, now named the Free African Front advanced into Niger, cutting off the Eastern and Western caliphates and creating a route to Burkina Faso which was also embroidered in a similar conflict. The FAF intervened in Burkina Faso in 1996, putting an end to the conflict that same year, which strengthened their position and granted them a relatively safe location from which to strike the MA.   The FAF recognized and offered an alliance to the Malian government, as to secure the western front before advancing again into Niger.   The FAF liberated Niger in 1997 and left it under Burkina Faso's administration.   The largest contributor to the FAF victories was the low priority the MA put in FAF operations, as the caliphate forces were concentrated in Algeria and Cameroon, which left the FAF to wreck havoc in Central Africa. Thanks to this the FAF became increasingly popular, which boosted its numbers to such that they outnumbered the Muslim Alliance's meta humans 2 to 1.   By the time the Muslim Alliance shifted focus to respond the FAF was already too large to be contained. The war prolonged itself as new fronts opened, in 1998 the FAF had to pull back from Chad to support their Azawadi allies, in 1999 the FAF retreated from Nigeria, to concentrate in liberating Chad, as it was seen as a vital position to liberate Sudan and eastern Africa from.   The FAF was supported by the reorganized kingdom of Egypt, Burkina Faso and the United States of Guinea, as well as many movements for national liberation, such as the Malian, Congolese, South Sudanese and South Cameroonian, among others.   The FAF seized control of Chad in 2001 and proclaimed itself the rightful government of the country. It then change its name to the Confederation of African Nations, before the government of Burkina Faso, and therefore Niger to join in.   The war would later on continue, as the government of Chad refused to recognize the CAN and continued to rule in exile from Cameroon.
