About Chad

Chad, officially known as the Republic of Chad, is a landlocked country located in north-central Africa. It is bordered by Libya to the north, Sudan to the east, the Central African Republic to the south, Cameroon and Nigeria to the southwest, and Niger to the west. The country's diverse geography includes the arid Sahara Desert in the north, the fertile Sahelian savanna in the center, and the more tropical Sudanian savanna in the south. N'Djamena, the capital and largest city, serves as the political and economic hub of the nation. Chad is home to over 200 ethnic groups and languages, with French and Arabic serving as the official languages. Despite its rich cultural heritage and natural resources, including oil, Chad faces significant challenges such as poverty, political instability, and environmental issues like desertification. The country has a complex history of colonization, independence, and conflict, but it continues to strive for development and stability in the region.
