Chad (i/tʃæd/; Arabic: تشاد Tshād; French: Tchad), officially the Republic of Chad (Arabic: جمهورية تشاد Jumhūrīyat Tshād; French: République du Tchad), is a landlocked country in 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. It is the fifth largest country in Africa in terms of area.
Chad has several regions: a desert zone in the north, an arid Sahelian belt in the centre and a more fertile Sudanian Savanna zone in the south. Lake Chad, after which the country is named, is the largest wetland in Chad and the second-largest in Africa. N'Djamena, the capital, is the largest city. Chad is home to over 200 different ethnic and linguistic groups. Arabic and French are the official languages. Islam and Christianity are the most widely practiced religions.
Beginning in the 7th millennium BC, human populations moved into the Chadian basin in great numbers. By the end of the 1st millennium BC, a series of states and empires rose and fell in Chad's Sahelian strip, each focused on controlling the trans-Saharan trade routes that passed through the region. France conquered the territory by 1920 and incorporated it as part of French Equatorial Africa. In 1960, Chad obtained independence under the leadership of François Tombalbaye. Resentment towards his policies in the Muslim north culminated in the eruption of a long-lasting civil war in 1965. In 1979, the rebels conquered the capital and put an end to the south's hegemony. However, the rebel commanders fought amongst themselves until Hissène Habré defeated his rivals. He was overthrown in 1990 by his general Idriss Déby. Since 2003, the Darfur crisis in Sudan has spilt over the border and destabilised the nation, with hundreds of thousands of Sudanese refugees living in and around camps in eastern Chad.
A Senegalese courtroom erupted in cheers Monday after a judge sentenced former Chad president Hissène Habré to life in prison. He was found guilty of torture, rape, war crimes and crimes against humanity. Habré ruled the central African country from 1982 to 1990. It’s estimated that 40,000 people died and 200,000 were tortured while his government was in power. Habré fled to Senegal after being ousted by a coup in 1990. His victims and the Human Rights Watch spent years trying to get someone to put Habré on trial for his crimes. According to The Wall Street Journal, his trial marks the first completed war crimes trial of an African leader by another African government. A spokesman for Human Rights Watch said, "This conviction is a wake-up call to tyrants everywhere that if they eng...

Chad's President Idriss Deby, who is also the current chair of the African Union says he is to run for a fifth term in office. Deby who has been in power for more than a quarter of a century, however, says he will reintroduce constitutional term limits if he wins in elections slated for April.

While some places are on this list due to armed conflicts and violence, other places are on the list thanks to physical or biological calamities. Regardless of the reasons, the one thing all of these places have in common is that most western governments do not advise travel to them unless it is absolutely necessary. These are the 25 most dangerous places to visit as a tourist. Also, before we continue, just remember, being on this list doesn't necessarily mean the entire country is bad to visit (although it can). Just make sure to check on regional travel warnings.

The former child soldiers who were forced into war have been left to fend for themselves, the murderous warlords who once led them in cannibalistic rampages have taken up as so-called community leaders, and new militias are lying in wait for the opportunity to reclaim their country from a government they rightly mistrust.

We cant keep silence. Since 1960 the Chad is independent. Until now there have been six presidents in power. The current president Idress Deby and his military regime, was brought into power 1990 by the support of France.

The regime is kidnapping and forcing women. Chad is rich of petrol but the people are very poor. The money is only used for military. There is oppression and the military comes to villages and kills people. The family of the president goes to villages using military cars to arrest civil people.
