Three years after the coup attempt of 2008, this policy brief discusses the state of the military rebel movement in Chad in 2011. It focuses on three rebel leaders who were instrumental in the coup attempt: Mahamat Nouri, Timan Erdimi and Abdelwahid Aboud Mackaye and looks at what has happened to them since 2008. The author concludes that the military insurgency in Chad has lost most of its power and that the only possible route to regime change would be if the presidential guard were to turn mutinous.
