After the Second Libyan Civil War broke out in 2014, as numerous armed factions started to fight for control of Libya, the different Libyan parties began to hire Chadian and Sudanese mercenaries to fight for them. As result, armed groups (including insurgents) would cross into Libya, and became increasingly involved in local politics.[1] One of the rebel groups that have become active in Liya is the "Military Command Council for the Salvation of the Republic" (CCMSR), a Chadian rebel faction which seeks to overthrow Idriss Déby, President and de facto dictator of Chad since 1990.[2]
