The Agence nationale de sécurité de l'Etat (ANSE) is the intelligence agency of the Republic of Chad. It is the successor of the Documentation and Security Directorate (DDS) which was created by the former President Hissène Habré. While the ANSE was not created as a law enforcement agency (those duties instead being done by the National Gendarmerie) they were given powers of arrest in 2017.[1] The current director is General Ismail Souleymane Lony, who replaced General Ahmed Kogri 21 February 2024.[2]
