The cathedral s architecture is based on that of a basilica. The entrance has a portico with six Doric columns. Its two characteristic domes cover both spans of the nave, while a series of oculi provide the cathedral s lighting. The building is heavily inspired by Italian religious architecture.

Goukouni Oueddei born 1944 is a Chadian political figure. He was Heads of State of Chad Head of State of Chad from 1979 to 1982. He is currently in exile. Biography Goukouni is from the northern half of the country and is the son of Oueddei Kichidemi , derde of the Teda . He entered politics in the late 1960s as a militant in the National Liberation Front of Chad FROLINAT led by Abba Siddick . FROLINAT resented the political dominance enjoyed by southerners under the presidency of Fran ois Tombalbaye and advocated the participation of central and northern peoples. After Tombalbaye s assassination in 1975, tensions between the two geographical halves escalated into a convoluted civil war that involved several Chadian political groups, Libya , the United States , and France . The conflict was to last through the 1980s. Goukouni viewed the dictatorial Tombalbaye regime as an instrument of continued French hegemony in Chad. Goukouni was installed as interim Chadian head of state on 23 March 1979. He was acclaimed President of the Transitional Government of National Unity GUNT , which sought reconciliation between warring factions, on 10 November 1979. Goukouni, a Cold War neutralist who supported Libya, was Head of State Wadel Abdelkader Kamougu a southern moderate was Vice President Hiss ne Habr a pro West northerner was Minister of Defence and Acyl Ahmat a strongly pro Libyan Arab was Minister of Foreign Affairs. Personal rivalries especially between erstwhile allies Goukouni and Habr limited the government s effectiveness and contributed to the perception of Goukouni as an indecisive puppet of Libyan leader Muammar al Gaddafi Mu ammar al Qadhafi . There was even a Libyan proposal to annex Chad, which drew opposition from all ideological camps. In a last ditch attempt to salvage his beleaguered government, Goukouni appointed Djidingar Dono Ngardoum as prime minister on 19 May 1982. The GUNT was, however, overthrown by Habr loyalists on 7 June 1982. Goukouni fled f ... more details
