Noël Milarew Odingar was a significant military figure in Chad, serving prominently as the Chief of Staff of the Chadian Armed Forces. Born on December 23, 1932, in Fort Archambault (now Sarh), Chad, Odingar's military career was closely linked with the turbulent political landscape of his country. His rise within the military ranks paralleled Chad's journey through repeated conflicts and coups following its independence from France in 1960.

He became Chief of Staff in 1975, a position he used to exert considerable influence on Chad's military strategies against various rebel groups. His tenure saw the interplay of external influences, notably from Libya and France, reflecting the geopolitical significance of Chad during the Cold War era.#Chad #MilitaryPresident #ShortLivedPresidency #PoliticalInstability
