Baghlani was the most prominent Arab member of the Chadian National Union (UNT), an Islamic political party founded in 1958 and officially banned by the government of Chad in 1962.
Other sources indicate that another reason for the breakup was the opposition to Siddick's foreign policy, who strengthened his ties with communist countries such as North Korea or the USSR, which al-Baghlani opposed.
[1] Al-Baghlani responded by creating a new rebel group, the Volcan Army, composed of Arab insurgents who refused to accept the leadership of Siddick.
As leader of the Volcan Army, al-Baghlani maintained close relations with Libya, but refused any dealings with communist and atheist states.
Shortly after, on March 27, Baghlani died with his chauffeur Mahamat Hissein in what might have been a planned car accident in Libya's Benghazi.
