Abstract
This article discusses how the Teda (a contemporary nomadic herding people in Chad) came to conquer the Chadian State by establishing dominance in central government in the later 1970s and early 1980s. It also evaluates the consequences of this take-over for both Teda and the larger Chadian society.
