The French Government was concern at the instability of some of the governments that had been former French colonies. French intelligence believed that they were breeding grounds for terrorist and for the flow of refugees Northward toward Algeria and Europe. As a result the Government of France decided to intervene and attempt to stabilize the area. In Chad the Kingdom of Libya sent forces in to stop attacks into southern Libya. The better armed Royal Libyan Army with support from the Kingdoms air Force pounded the region. The Libyan set up a new government and arranged for the French legionnaires to come in to train a new Chadian Army and Police force.
