  • description: While used by the government, education, and official administration, most citizens continue to speak their local languages ​​or colloquial Arabic in their daily lives. In this episode of Sudan Podcast, Chadian writer and researcher Said Abakar Ahmed reveals that French in Chad is a colonial legacy stemming from the period of French rule and is not a natural language of the Chadian people. Are the Chadian people French-speaking? #Sudan #Podcast The full story of Chad... and how colonialism damaged Sudan's relationship with it? | Sudan Podcast Why is Arabic an integral part of Chad's identity? How did it arrive and take root there before Sudan? And how did religious scholars and jurists in southern Chad confront French colonialism and contribute to protecting local culture and preserving the social fabric? In this episode of Sudan Podcast, Chadian writer and researcher Said Abakar Ahmed offers an in-depth historical analysis of Chad's history, from the perspective of traditional society and kingdoms, to understand the roots of the current political conflict. This episode discusses the role of Islamic kingdoms such as Kanem, Wadai, Bornu, and Bagirmi in shaping the pre-colonial political and social structure. It explains how Islam entered Chad through trade rather than conquest, contributing to the establishment of the Arabic language and the building of an organized and resilient society. The episode also covers the contemporary periods, from the rule of Hissène Habré to that of Idriss Déby, examining internal conflicts, civil wars, and foreign interventions, particularly the roles of Libya, France, and the United States, and the impact of religious politics on political transformations. This episode attempts to understand how Chad has been shaped over the centuries: from traditional kingdoms to the modern state, and from religious and cultural transformations to contemporary political and economic crises. Sudan Podcast, presented by Rabee Siraj.
