How destabilizing would a major war in Africa be?

 

[Bulldoggus]

that is true, wonder if soon their will be A liberal politcal revolution.

Not terribly necessary, TBH. They'll be able to wield behind the scenes power in all three parties, to varying extents, and undermine most socially conservative policies (although social liberalism will only happen at a state level).

Perhaps Gaddafi has a border incident with Sudan and uses it as an excuse to declare war on Khartoum then Addis Ababa joins Sudan in declaring war on Tripoli?

Qaddafi is trying to play of both sides at this point, so the best item of contention would likely be Somalia. Siad Barre is openly wooing the Entebbe Pact, which is pissing off Moscow, Tehran, and Addis Ababa.

Essentially, if the war is confined to Communist Block v. Entebbe Pact, then NATO would most likely try to contain it. However, it would sink relations to a new low.

I could see Egypt joining up against Sudan and Ethiopia if it means they at least get control of the Hala'ib Triangle.

Edit: Plus could see an earlier independence of South Sudan.

That reminds me, if nothing changed inside Sudan ITTL then the Second Sudanese Civil War should be going on right now.

There is an anti-socialist insurgency backed up by the British Commonwealth, Egypt, and the Entebbe Pact. Another reason why Sudan is inching closer to Ethiopia over the war with the Entebbe Pact

A sunny backwater in the French Colonial Empire; when the French government isn't blowing up islands in nuclear weapons testing, that is. The French also keep several strategic naval and air bases there.
