| Abstract | ||
| Why did I choose this subject to search it, while there are many studies have been put in a jihad Sanossi in Libya? Yes, that's true, but not much written about Alsanossin Jihad in Algeria or in South Desert of Africa, such as Mali and Niger, Chad and parts of the French resistance to the invasion, and therefore our chosen theme for this search. The Sanossi strategy the first to stir the Algerian tribes and mobilized against the French occupation introduced support for the revolution of Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdullah and Sheikh Bo -Eamama revolution, and when he found that the discrepancy between the military balance of power between the rebel tribes and the forces of the French occupation has made the war between the two parties usually ends in favor occupier, and therefore resorted to change its strategy to transfer the confrontation with the occupier of the areas north of the desert to the areas to the south to prolong supplying lines, and the style of war changed from offense to hard defense through the establishment of angles Sanossi and published on the progress of the occupation forces in sub-Saharan lines,Beer Alaly angle have been recorded in Chad's first line of defense of the movement Sanossi and proved a remarkable capacity to withstand and respond to the creeping colonization of French West and Central Africa for two continuous years of war. | ||
