Chad

Chad is a landlocked country in north‑central Africa, bordered by Libya to the north, Sudan to the east, Central African Republic to the south, Cameroon to the southwest, Niger to the west, and Algeria to the northwest.

Its capital and largest city is N’Djamena, located on the banks of the Chari River. The nation’s economy relies heavily on oil production, livestock herding, and subsistence agriculture, while its diverse population practices Islam, Christianity, and traditional religions. Culturally, Chad is known for its vibrant folk music, traditional crafts such as mud‑brick architecture, and the annual “Festival of the Nomad” celebrating its semi‑nomadic heritage.
