Gaddafi withdraws from Chad in 1986

[walmart]

Following the GUNT disintegration and break with Libya in 1986, Could Gaddafi decide to cut his losses and offer to withdraw from Chad in exchange for recognition of Aouzou Strip as Libyan territory .

Would Habre accept this offer

What would be the impact of this

Ghadafy shouldn't have gone there in the first place. By '86 he had already squandered a lot; Chad, for him, had become what Yemen had been for Nasser. He should've gotten out regardless of whether he could've kept the Aouzou strip.

The problem was, the FANT completely outclassed the Libyan army in Chad.

Would they and especially France want to go through the effort of pushing Libya out of both Northern Chad and the Aouzou Strip if he offered to withdraw in exchange for Chad recognizing the Aouzou Strip as Libyan. In otl Gaddafi managed to hold onto the Aouzou Strip despite losing the Toyota War due to a lack of French desire to push him out, only leaving due to an ICJ ruling.

Without the Toyota war, Would Libya be more willing to military intervene in sub Saharan Africa
