EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Old French Army rifles used to kill French soldiers by the Wadai in Chad" showcases a haunting scene from history. Created by the French School in the 20th century, this colour lithograph depicts a grim reality of warfare and colonialism. The image captures a collection of old surplus weapons that were trafficked across the Sahara, ultimately being used against French soldiers by the Wadai people in Chad. The caption reveals a sense of shock and anger as it laments, "Et dire que c'est avec des fusils Français que ces sauvages tuent nos soldats!" (And to think that it is with French rifles that these savages kill our soldiers!) Published as an illustration for Le Petit Journal on December 25,1910, this artwork serves as a powerful reminder of the consequences and complexities surrounding armed conflicts. It portrays not only the physical battlefields but also delves into emotions such as rage, bitterness, and furor. Through this image, we are confronted with both historical events and human feelings associated with war. It sheds light on how arms trafficking can perpetuate violence while highlighting France's military presence in its overseas territories. Overall, this thought-provoking piece invites us to reflect on the impact of colonialism and raises questions about power dynamics within conflict zones.
