Anislam ic fundamentalist close to theMuslim Brotherhood , he was head of the General Union of the Children of Chad ("Union Générale des Fils du Tchad" or UGFT), an islamic political party formed by Chadian exiles in Sudan. Because of the authoritarian andanti-Muslim policies of the President François Tombalbaye, he lived in exile inSudan when the explosion of bloody riots in the Guéra Prefecture in 1965 opened him new chances. For this reason he formed in his country of exile onSeptember 7 1965 theLiberation Front of Chad , the first insurgent group formed against Tombalbaye. A small group, at the Congress of Nyala Musa and his FLT united itself in 1966 with theChadian National Union (UNT) ofIbrahim Abatcha to form the powerful National Liberation Front of Chad (FROLINAT). Musa early resumed his authonomy and with his the wing of the FLT operated on the Chad-Sudan border. When Tombalbaye fell in the 1975 coup, Musa readily came to terms with the new government.
