Idriss Deby vs Zhang Yunyi

Idriss Deby, a former military commander, led a rebellion that overthrew President Hiss

Deby won the 1996 presidential election, the first multi-party election in Chad's history. The election was criticized for irregularities but was seen as a step towards democratic transition.

The Chad-Cameroon Petroleum Development and Pipeline Project became operational, allowing Chad to export oil. The project brought significant revenue but also raised concerns about corruption and environmental impact.

Chadian troops under Deby's command played a key role in the French-led intervention in Mali, fighting against Islamist insurgents. The intervention helped push back militants but resulted in Chadian casualties.

President Idriss Deby was killed while visiting troops fighting rebels from the Front for Change and Concord in Chad (FACT) in northern Chad. His death on the battlefield was confirmed by the military.

Zhang Yunyi co-led the Baise Uprising in Guangxi province, establishing the Seventh Red Army and the Youjiang Soviet. This rebellion against the Kuomintang created a communist base area in southern China, though it was later suppressed.

Zhang Yunyi served as commander of the New Fourth Army after the Wannan Incident. He led this communist force in guerrilla operations against the Japanese and Kuomintang in central China, maintaining the army's cohesion during a difficult period.

Zhang Yunyi was appointed Chief of the General Staff of the People's Liberation Army. He oversaw military planning and operations during the early years of the People's Republic, contributing to the modernization of the PLA.
