Hassan Djamous
Hassan Djamous was a Commander in Chief of the Chadian Army and a cousin of current Chadian President Idriss Déby. The Hassan Djamous International Airport is named after him.
He led Chadian forces during the Chadian–Libyan conflict, such as the victory in the Battle of Maaten al-Sarra. According to military analyst Kenneth M. Pollack, Djamous was a capable commander whose mastery of maneuver warfare earned him comparisons with World War II German general Erwin Rommel.
Djamous was killed on orders of Hissène Habré, a former President, who suspected him of plotting a coup d'état along with his cousin, Déby, and Mahamat Déby Itno, Minister of the Interior; Déby was the only one of the three who survived.
