The Chadian National Union (Union Nationale Tchadienne or UNT) was a radical Muslim political party founded in 1958 in Chad by Issa Dana Mahamut Outman and Abba Siddick. Created to lobby the NO-vote to the referendum on Chad’s entry in the French Community the party advocated drastic political reforms to be achieved if necessary through violence. The party was banned in 1962 when the president François Tombalbaye proclaimed the Chadian Progressive Party sole legal party.
