He came to power by overthrowing President Hissène Habré and built a durable security‑centered state in a country marked by repeated rebellions, regional conflict, and fragile institutions. Déby’s rule combined formal electoral processes with a political order anchored in the armed forces, presidential patronage, and the management of elite alliances across Chad’s diverse regions.
