The Janjaweed. .. weakening the Arab Domination in Tchad

By: Dr. Hussein Ardimi/Ndjamena

Since the transitional president of Tchad, General Mohamed Debby took power following the death of his father, he remained suspicious from internal and external parties. This was due to enormous reasons among which are the disputes between his brothers and the aides of his father, besides the French domination and the tribal polirazation. But the biggest internal threat is the expansion of the Janjaweed and the Arab tribes in Tchad especially after Gen. Mohamed Hamdan Daglo Himidti became the Vice President of the Sudanese Sovereignty Council as they planned to make Sudan as the base for controlling Tchad, Niger, Central African Republic
The Janjaweed had electoral legitimacy in Niger after Mohamed Bazoom became prime minister backed by his cousin Himidti.
According to press reports Himidti is planning to rule Niger through a group of less than 1 percent of the population, and to rule Central African Republic by the help of Wagner.
After the rebellion of Himidti it became clear the involvement of the Arabs of Tchad in the RSF.
The Tchadian president did not take any stance against the crimes of the Janjaweed to avoid early confrontations.
The Tchadian Arab elites ignite the war and encourage their youth to engage with the Janjaweed in Sudan without thinking that such a step might have negative impacts on their tribes in Tchad.
The Guraan and Zagawa tribes in Tchad learnt from the crisis of Darfur and it’s impact in Tchad.
The recent decisions of sending more than 200 high rank officers in Tchad armed at weakening the Arab domination which affect the national security and the stability of the country.
The existence of the Janjaweed in both Sudan and Tchad represent a threat to the stability of the two countries so the government of Tchad would allow for repeating Sudan’s practice and will not allow for armed tribal components.
However, the Arabs of Tchad should top commitment to the nation and consider their coexistence with the non-Arabs in Tchad through avoiding the calls for tribal and ethnic expansion in the countrybas was the case in Darfur
It is high time to stand united against the attempts of the Janjaweed revive ethnic and tribal germ to establish their Arab State which includes Sudan, Niger, Libya and Tchad.
People at those areas are living in peace and coexistence since thousands of years, but the Janjaweed are attempting to destroy the peace through their genocide against the non-Arab tribes in Darfur e g.. Fur, Zagawa, Masaleet, Tungur etc.
