The Kanem possessed a strong and skilled army, a net of civil servants called upon to maintain order, and to levy taxes from the farthest regions, as well as a prospering economy.

After the war, the Chadian participated for the first time in elections, by appointing their representatives to the constitutional assembly (1945-1945), and then to the French national assembly (1946).

But the discrepancies between the two men, the religious and regional antagonisms, accentuated by the colonization, cut the country in two. With 98 per cent the Chadian approuve the French community project at a referendum vote in 1958. After sixty years of French domination, the country accepted its independence on August 11, 1960.
