Ethno-confessional factor as a discriminatory phenomenon of the southern Chadian people from 1990–2023

Abstract

In this article we will talk about ethnic contradiction which is a common way and always exists in political life, but it almost never appears in their pure form. In many cases it is difficult to separate them from contradictions that arise on religious grounds. As practice shows, ethnicity is often inseparable from religion, which is why the symbiosis of these two phenomena interests us particularly in the discriminatory socio-political phenomenon against the Chadian people of the South. For years a part of the Chadian population of the south, mainly Christian, has seen itself marginalized, several of their villages have been bathed in blood by a confrontation between farmers (Christians) and breeders (Muslims), supported by big military figures who insist on displaying their allegiance to the Idriss Deby clan and his heirs (party in power for 30 years), the killings continue in the southern zone with the macabre blessing of transitional president Mahamat Deby with the logistical support of France.
