The Teda are nomadic pastoralists mostly living in the Tibesti Massif, in northern Chad, but also as a minority group dispersed in neighboring Libya, Sudan and throughout Chad. Traditional Teda society was organized into a hierarchy of patriclans in which the rank and status of each clan greatly depended on length of residence in Tibesti, conditions under which its founders settled there, or reputations of its members in war. During the late 1970s and early 1980s, the Teda rose to become dominant power in the Chadian central government because of their successive victories as insurgents fighting against the national army.
