And also told us in no uncertain terms how the Libyan intervention was utterly doomed and would end in civil war.

The conflict was marked by a series of four separate Libyan interventions in Chad, taking place in 1978, 1979, 1980-1981 and 1983-1987.

GUNT was characterized by intense rivalries that led to armed confrontations and the Libyan intervention in 1980.

Libyan intervention was a success...

Liberal or Libyan intervention.
