Ngarta Tombalbaye: The Strange Dictator from Chad
Vložit
- čas přidán 14. 07. 2022
- This was Francois Ngarta Tombalbaye, the former President of the nation of Chad and one of the most strange dictators the continent has ever had.
When he was at the helm, Tombalbaye put in place some strange policies which raised quite a few eyebrows and led to a disgruntled populace… For instance, as part of an authenticity campaign called Chaditude, he ordered all high government officials, civil servants and military officers to undergo a tradition called Yondo, which was a sometimes fatal initiation ritual.
The Yondo ordeal, which Tombalbaye himself underwent as an adolescent, is known to involve flogging, facial scarring, drugging and mock burials…

#CHAD #DICTATOR
My name is Naimbai Njerakey and I approve this message. I belong to the N'gambay ethnicity: The largest ethnic group in Chad. The N'gambay and the Sar (Tombalmbaye's ethnicity) are like cousins. Our culture, customs, and languages are very similar. Some may even call N'gambay and Sar dialects and not distinct languages. This video is well-researched and put together. It's refreshing to hear a knowledgeable person speak about my country. Keep up the great work.
Lovely to meet Chadians. I am also Chadian. Nice to meet you and congrats to this wonderful channel.
I love learning new things about cultures. This was an interesting video and thank you for adding this additional information.
As a Chadian from the north we say Sara to introduce the people from the south. To be honest Sara people are so cultured .
Why do you fight up to now? Is there any reason for killing each other..
@@anthonyngocihkisilu2973 who is fighting now?
I have only recently discovered this channel but I have watched so many of the videos and learnt so much 20th Century history.
I was a 12 year old kid in Nigeria when Murtala was assassinated in 1975 but the spend the rest of my childhood and education in the UK and lost touch with the complex politics of Africa e.g. I never understood the basics of the war in Angola.
Thank you for this fascinating channel.
You are welcome
Why he thought alienating huge chunks of his own country and population wasn’t going to end badly for him, is beyond me?
Same thoughts here ,but sometimes I wonder whether we are rather the ones living with hindsight and so much information.
EGO.
Probably saw what the French did and thought he could do the same.
@michaelsinger4638 Because he was drunk with power lol. He turned potentional allies and his own supporters against him with his crazy inconsiderate policie and that they benefited no one.
This is When Chad was in the Hands of naturally Africans ( Nilotic Sudans) owners of Chad with our African customs. Today Chad is owned by converted black muslims fools who called themselves Arabs- like Somalis and North Sudanese who have sold their souls, customs, spirituality, culture, Tradition etc to the Evil Arabs who invaded, ra***pd their moms sisters baby girls, tortured and murdered their fathers moms uncles etc
Hello, I truly think you're one of the most valuable history channels on CZcams. It can be difficult finding good African content on the website and I just wanted to say I appreciate the work 😀
Thank you so much
@@AfricanBiographics dont call our brothers dictators, they are leaders, even if they are bad they are still leaders. Are western presidents dictators?
i agree, really good quality work, ty!!
I agree. Most African nations are a shambles. Never-ending corruption. Poverty. War. Violence. Ignorance. Incompetence. It's hard to sugar-coat all that.
Yeah I’ve learned more new information from this channel than probably any other, at least history wise
Hey, I really enjoy your videos on African History. You’re simply the best man when it comes to our history. As a young teen I enjoy listening to African history and I really think your the best here on CZcams. I’m a Cameroonian and Nigerian 🇳🇬 and I was wondering if you could make a video about the founder of Cameroon who fought for the independence and reunification of Kamerun( Cameroon) known as Ruben Um Nyobé that the world has completely forgotten about him and his party UPC legacy before his assassination. It’ll be an honor for Cameroonians mostly and Some Africans who weren’t never taught about him in school to learn about him. Thank you
I am an African American (Decedent of enslaved Africans) and I am an Afrocentric Historian, Pan Africanist and Black Nationalist. I would like to say thank you for this video, I love learning about history from Africa.
We all should learn from our past in Africa and Black people globally so we can shape our future. Much love.
Black people unfortunately can't be Shi... Too much non patriotism and idiocyy... Easier to be all the names you've given to yourself when you live in rich country that provides opportunities to its people.
WE BLACK AFRICANS NEED TO UNITE WORLDWIDE
afrocentric historian?
@@whyareyoulying1568a historian who focuses his studies on Africa.
@@ekothesilent9456 - we are always told human sapiens evolved in Africa some 200.000 years ago, and if we say civilization outside afriare some 10.000 to 15.000 years old, what did African do for 190.000 years?
What a great quality channel! Love it. I have a morbid curiosity learning more about dictators. The stranger they get, more interesting to read about. Keep posting more material. Greetings from Croatia!
What a great narration of factual research about our beloved Africa and it’s fair share of failures in the political space…. Very sad how the people are failed by men who are power crazy and plain corrupt
Thank you for your work and effort .
Deeply appreciated .
Appreciate the amount of work you’re putting to come up with such a reliable content. But the way, I’m a Chadian.
Me too :)
@@matthewpatrick7964 Delighted to know

You're a chad
We had 42 years of mugabe in Zimbabwe. Tombabaye was a saint
That "Yondo" thing is hilarious especially the way those guys are twerking 😂😂😂
Yeah till u realize what yondo really mean and what kind of ritual u have to do.
The twerk dance, as with the history of African-American originated contemporary dance, all has roots from centuries old West African dance and rituals.
My dude your videos have helped remind people of Africa's history, a history many especially in South Africa choose to ignore
The best history (biography) channel. You deserve an award!
Bless you, bless you, bless you
I am atheist but I’d pray to keep your channel alive. You’re a legend, never stop!
Jesus is the Way, the Truth, the Light.
Pray to who? You should say “hope my hypothesis proves true”
Thank you for the great research on African biographical history, to me history is a food of the heart and brains.
This is an example of becoming the very problem you are trying to solve.
Thank you for yOur channel. I am very unaware of African history so I enjoy learning more.
Thank you so much brother. Iam now over 50 years and this part of history of our our African continent I didn't know. Its sad that what came out of the struggle for independences on the African soil. Was the establishment of autocratic rule or leadership created purposely to subjugate their own people. Till now the same pattern is still immensely prevalent on the continent and no sign easing down in sight.
Everyone needs know more about Africa! Thank you for giving us this opportunity to learn!!
An Excellent channel..thank you for producing the videos..
You are welcome Shaun
A very informative channel, thank you, lots to learn .
Honestly you guys are the best historian...am watching from Juba South Sudan and I can't wait to know about Rwanda genocide
Thank you for sharing this History.
So much knowledge gained from this one.
Now I understand why Mobutu name an Avenue after his name coz they both look a like
I'm sorry but I couldn't stop laughing at "Chaditude" 😂😂😂
I always say independence was sought after by our early leaders for their own personal gains not for the people.
You have to be a chad to live in Chad
@@madman21 Often how national liberation movements end, Hispanic America had the same issues
And here I thought Idi Amin and Bokassa were already very strange.
I really love the way this documentary has made the people so big , colourful and alive; once a Chad...always a Chad!!🎉
Great stuff. Thanks for all the hard work.
one of most underrated channels on CZcams
Really appreciate your work have been binge watching alot of your videos especially the ones on Sudan
Now, please check out these FACTS that are on the Web: "In 250 years of existence as a nation, the US has fought against 29 sovereign countries. (In Fact, since 1785, we have been involved, for 231 years, in some kind of war. And this wars, against all varieties of nations. From going against the Sultan of Morocco, to invading the tiny island of Grenada, 1983. Well, this means that in our entire history, we have only had 17 years of peace, and even fewer, cuz here the almost 5 years of our Civil War (Union/Confed 1861‒1865), are Not counted, since this war was not with another country, but against us.

Hey I just found your channel and videos for the first time there’s a lot of them and I can see you put a lot of work into making these videos ☯️✅ great job and I’m definitely going to subscribe to your channel
Fascinating !! Merci mon ami ..!
Thanks for the great work! I learned a lot on my first President. Just one comment, Tombalbaye doesn’t have an é intonation at the end. The intonation remains flat 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Lovely to meet Chadians. I am also Chadian. Nice to meet you and congrats to this wonderful channel.
This has enlightened me of African History which I have never known.
Wow first time to hear of him quite informative 👏
These video's are incredibly fascinating, and truly shed great light on such ignored and generally unknown history.
Would there any prospects on making videos about: Ian Smith, P. W. Botha and B. J. Vorster? Out of curiosity...
Very informative upload.
Even though I’m a big Gaddafi supporter, I’m sorry for Libya interfering in Chad during that time. I’d really like to visit Chad someday.
Are you from Libya?
You are always welcome to Chad.
He wasn't a dictator. He was anti West and they forced to make some unpleasant decisions. His time was When Chad was in the Hands of naturally Africans ( Nilotic Sudans) owners of Chad with our African customs. Today Chad is owned by converted black muslims fools who called themselves Arabs- like Somalis and North Sudanese who have sold their souls, customs, spirituality, culture, Tradition etc to the Evil Arabs who invaded, ra***pd their moms sisters baby girls, tortured and murdered their fathers moms uncles etc
I really appreciate this channel

I appreciate you brother. Thank you for your content
That fellow was clearly a proper lunatic! Thanks for another great history lesson...bravo
You should read about the first president of equatorial Guinea. Worse than this fool
A great video once again! Fair balanced and intellectually interesting.
Thank you
Love this channel!!!!
Just came across your channel this morning very informative documentary.
That Yondo thing is brutal and barbaric, only an insane head of state would impose such on his cabinet....Francois💔
It's no less barbaric than a boot camp. Grow up.
@@dadeviI love the idea!
Your voice is very pleasant to listen to.
Great video. What a character.
Patiently waiting for that notification 😁😁😁
I’m biggest fan from 🇺🇸
An ethnic scoundrel seized power, and the rest was history!
Thank you for bringing this out to the larger world!
Nguema was by far the worst he makes him look like Looney Toons.
I don’t even mind the wait I like learning more about African history
It looks like he was really enjoying watching the initiation rituals. He looked very happy.
As a Māori from Aotearoa (New Zealand) I love the fact there are other people who wear tribal tattoos or scars in modern times with a suit on
Why? You people didn't invent tattoos.
Tribal marks is in places across Africa. It’s a source of beautification practiced for ages. It’s present in many parts of Nigeria too.
Thanks for another video. To me, I see his attempt at popularising Yondo as a way to unite all the diverse peoples of Chad under one tradition. And, of course, it would be his own. With the discontent from the Northern and Central regions as well as the conviction that Christians had against Yondo, it was doomed to fail.
Had he tried to get the leaders of ALL of the peoples in Chad involved, they all could have come up with a better Africanisation plan. That way, the Northerners wouldn’t have felt the need to turn to Libya. Tribalism is one of the things that ruined Chad back then as it had to several other African nations.
I hope the people of Chad are doing well. I would like to hear the views of Chadians on this matter.
Thanks again, African Biographics.
Thanks for this feedback and I am glad you enjoyed the video
We are not doing good at all. Ethnic tensions are at their highest as of right now, this country was doomed to fall since the beginning
@@ahumanwhodoesntlikenoobs395
How did the Kanem-Bornu managed to keep things together then? Obviously they had a way to ensure all the tribes would behave and band together
Another interesting video. :)
I love these videos of youre,Have to shout From Suomi Finland
@Tatenda, do they use Australian currency in Tchad for trade? I saw Australian dollars here.
Great channel 👍 I subscribed !
The Yondo ritual could have worked today to discipline corrupt politicians 🤣🤣🤣
I liked this video so much. Greeting from México 🇲🇽
As a white man I approve of the depiction of Francois
Informative video!, 300th comment
Merci !
I sometimes think that with the strong cultures in Africa the modern concept of "dictatorship" could have taken a far more interesting path had these men been more competent and normal. Imagine a "strong man" who has all (or most) power like an ancient roman dictator but is both truly capable and loved. However, with everything unfortunate that happened to these nations and human nature itself this wondering is just a wild guess.
I dunno, day dreaming about the perfect dictator seems like a lost cause no matter how "strong" said dictator's culture may or may not be.
@@stephenbrand5661 perfect dictators are like perfect presidents and perfect kings: being humans, they simply don't exist in such an ideal form. My comment is a mere mental exercise on an african Cunctator, a "strong man" that isn't just another opportunist with criminal tendencies.
You're basically describing Tito, and things didn't go too well once he died...
So like china
No strong man will ever be truly loved as he's just merely tolerated especially when the country prospers.
Love your content
Immagine being an accountant for the municipal council and being forced to attend a yondo camp
😂😂😂😂
Ur Channel Is Gold
As an African descendant in America, this channel is priceless. I want to learn so much about where i came from and the politics that landed my African ancestors in a new land by force. I greatly appreciate the information here.

Well, this means that in our entire history, we have only had 17 years of peace, and even fewer, cuz here the almost 5 years of our Civil War (Union/Confed 1861‒1865), are Not counted, since this war was not with another country, but against us.

Waiting to hear on Frolinat and Hisene Habre.
Heavy Gratitude
Which editing program do you use???
I knew some of his children when living in Montreal. I remember when they received the news of their father's death. I remember hearing that he had more than a dozen children from different wives. I remember Thiery Tombalbaye and Ngaoudal Tombalbaye. Anyone knows where his children in Montreal ended up? I heard they were welcomed by Haitian dictator Baby Doc. Any info????
A good example of the Dunning-Kruger effect on a political scale. It is because of leaders like him that France still owns half of Africa.
Thank you. I'm generally happy that finally people try to educate others about african history and try to change the narrative, which originates from colonial propaganda, that africa has no history. Because this will help to fight ignorance.
This is post-colonial history and has nothing to do with the claim of "no pre-colonial" history.
@@alexskatit4188 i dont know if a lot of people, in the developed world know anything about sub-saharan african Post colonial history except Nelson Mandela maybe.
@@user-ns5my5fx4p Actually most people in the world, in developed countries as well as in Africa know very little about African history and history in general.
@@user-ns5my5fx4pI am a white Brit, lived a little as a boy in Botswana and was taught a little southern African history as a result. My father had a great interest in African History, ancient and modern, though such a long history, and such a massive continent means that one can only know a little. There are Westerners who have an interest, though not as many as should do. Great Channel.
He wasn't a dictator. He was anti West and they forced to make some unpleasant decisions. His time was When Chad was in the Hands of naturally Africans ( Nilotic Sudans) owners of Chad with our African customs. Today Chad is owned by converted black muslims fools who called themselves Arabs- like Somalis and North Sudanese who have sold their souls, customs, spirituality, culture, Tradition etc to the Evil Arabs who invaded, ra***pd their moms sisters baby girls, tortured and murdered their fathers moms uncles etc
Sigma GIGACHAD
There's research (available online) regarding the hotspots of African conflicts; most of them intersect where ethnic, religious and cultural differences occur in a single country.
One of the worst decisions OAU made was to proclaim these borders sancrosanct instead of uniting eg. Niger and northern Tchad.
These differences led to Ogaden war, South Sudan, Tchad, Biafran war, etc. Usually it happens when two groups are equal in strength, or where one is weaker but has irredentism of a nearby state (Ogaden, North Kenya).
Such a shame that they chose not to wrest with it.
Aside from the Muslim-Christian divide (which is also a cultural, political and ecological divide), there was Ruanda and Burundi and a few others.
Have you done a video of Hastings Banda of Malawi 🇲🇼 yet?
There is a video of Hastings. Just go through the channels videos.
Just... just search for it?
What an absolute Chad
With these scars, dude has really the supervillain DRIP.
1975: Francois Tombalbaye has left the Chad.
Is dictatorship, ruthlessness and brutality built into our DNA? Every African country except Botswana has been brutal, tyrannical and so despotic. If that was not bad enough, the countries are almost always economically useless, incompetent, devoid of any ideas on how to build a nation successfully and backward. Their rule is marked by awful atrocities, civil wars,tribalism economic migration, political exiles and refugees....... After all this, they demand respect from the rest of the world..... Who in their right mind would after looking at the state Africa is in???
Not all African countries plus there are other factors at play
Hi! Thank you for the very good and intresting videos. Why are Africans so cruel to eachother? Why can`t they live in peace and help and work togethher?
Unfortunately his successors haven't done much better too
How about Sékou Touré
What happens when a village fool takes power
There is a great supply of village fools.
Wasn't that a case with most early leaders in any country that gained independence?
I really like the yondo thing. He did right. Imagine all those politicians in every country would have to go to boot camp or something. Would be good for those lazy corrupt people
Africa is such a beautiful continent but definitely there will always be unrest due to endless greed and power hunger and minimum empathy.

The continent of Africa sure had some very strange and evil dictators, I hope this younger generation will do alot better for Africa as the continent and their individual people's and country.
As little known as Chad may be it’s history is so incredible I hope a talented historian will write it all down in one book. I remember reading that the novel ‘The Coup’ by American author John Updike was inspired by events in Chad but don’t know if the leader it portrays is one of them or a composite. I would be much more interested in a nonfiction book about them all.
I know President Macias of Equatorial Guinea and Mobutu in the Congo both claimed they were going to ‘Africanise’ both countries. I think that proves people should at least be concerned if any future President makes the same promise.
Who you guys think is worse? Tombalbaye or Déby?
Deby
I once read somewhere that Tombalbaye's yondo ritual had the men split the head of the penis with a sharp razor leaving it forked like a snake's tongue. Very brutal indeed.
😮
WELL Explained brother can you please tell me his regime killed how many people and how they were killed
You forgot to add that he fought in the French Army during WWII
Millions and millions have suffered, instead a sense that history to adopt a life of benevolence, they have become dictators and dictators to perpetuate the suffering. They are the only ones who can understand what has happened to the souls they are.
What is your mother tongue?
Xhosa?
Do you also have some videos on cultural topics? Especially on Khoekhoe from Namibia?
Strangest dictator.
Macias Nguema *chuckles in those were the days*
