What goals did the Chad National Front pursue in the 1960s?

During the mid-1960s, the Chad National Front (FNT) emerged as a guerrilla movement operating in the east-central region of the country. The group pursued three primary objectives:12

• The overthrow of the existing government.13
• The reduction of French influence in Chad.23
