The northernmost and Muslimmost colony in French Equatoria Africa was Chad, which is also, as you've pointed out before, the only colony in French Equatorial Africa with a Muslim majority. It was also the first colony to support de Gaulle, shortly after France fell to Germany in 1940. It is unlikely that Chad ever gave its allegiance to Vichy, save for bureaucratic assumptions in Europe. It is inconceivable that Chad was controlled by Vichy for the first half of the war.

You're being intentionally dishonest again (big surprise for a muslim jihadi sympathiser). I have never denied that Chad supported De Gaulle, and in fact openly pointed that out to you in post #200.

And in #351, you claim that:

"The muslim northern French Equatorial colonies were Vichy controlled for the first half of the war and contributed far less to the allied side than non-Vichy colonies.

Again, Chad was the northernmost colony of French Equatorial Africa and the only one with a majority Muslim population. Which of your statements is true? #200? Or #351? They contradict each other.
