10 Things You Didn't Know About Chad

Top 10 Things You Didn’t Know About Chad
Hello Displorers, welcome to another exciting video presented to you by Displore and thanks for watching. In this video, we shall be looking at the top things you didn’t know about chad.Chad is a landlocked country in north-central Africa bordered by Libya to the north, Sudan to the east, the Central African Republic to the south, Cameroon to the south-west, Nigeria to the southwest, and Niger to the west.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. The capital N'Djamena is the largest city, official languages are Arabic and French but Chad is home to over 200 different ethnic and linguistic groups. Chad remains plagued by political violence and recurrent attempted coups d'état. Chad is one of the poorest and most corrupt countries in the world; most inhabitants live in poverty as subsistence herders and farmers. Since 2003 crude oil has become the country's primary source of export earnings, superseding the traditional cotton industry. Chad has a poor human rights record, with frequent abuses such as arbitrary imprisonment, extrajudicial killings, and limits on civil liberties by both security forces and armed militias.

Here are top 10 things you probably didn’t know about chad.

1. Chad Is Named After Its Most Popular Lake, Lake Chad.
Lake Chad used to be the seventh largest lake in the world and the fourth largest in Africa. However, due to advanced desertification and low rainfall, it has shrunk to less than 10% of its former size and volume. Lake Chad is however the largest lake in the Chad Basin. The freshwater lake that touches base with Nigeria, Cameroon, and Niger is where the country got its name.

2. Crude Oil Is its Economy’s Engine
The oil rich nation was first known for its cotton which brought significant wealth to the nation before the discovery of oil in 2003.The first oil pipeline runs through Cameroon, connecting the Doba Basin to the port of Kribi producing 94,000barrels of crude oil daily.Chad's energy sector has had years of mismanagement by the parastatal Chad Water and Electric Society, which provides power for 15% of the capital's citizens and covers only 1.5% of the national population. Most Chadians burn biomass fuels such as wood and animal manure for power which is such a pity for a country rich enough to more than provide energy for its citizens. Hopefully, the Inga dam project will spin the energy fate of the country around.

Can you hear the silence?
Can you see the dark?

We need to overcome the issues together, namely covid and climate change, or we will all perish. Chad is one place that could use some more love, there's probably been a lot of abuse around it figuring from the travel vlogs. I recommend this Youtube channel for everyone to learn about life's most important matters and lessons; A Voice In The Desert

Wow amazing. Chad 🇹🇩 is so beautiful. Point of correction please, lake chad is not the 2nd largest lake in Africa. Lake Tanganyika is the 2nd largest lake in Africa, and lake chad is the 5th largest lake in Africa.

Chad has almost the same country flag as Romania's, but the colours are a little darker, if I remember right.

A famous Quote:

Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.

Some people will talk about you, because if they talked about themselves, no one would care or listen.
