	Chad
		Chad is somewhat similar to Sudan in that it has a northern part inhabited by an Islamic (and partly Arabic-speaking) population of pastoralist semidesert peoples, and a southern part of Christians and traditional religious people, engaged in mixed agriculture, crafts, and trade.
		Chad is basically a large plain, with some mountain ranges, including the Guéra massif in the center and the Ouaddaï or Ennedi massif in the east; in the north in the middle of the desert lies the spectacular Tibesti range, where cultivation is possible due to higher rainfall.
		Chad did not exist as a political unit before the French conquest of 1900, but was an area of important indigenous state formation and had seen Arab immigration (of groups collectively called Djoheina and Hassaouna) and Islamization since the fourteenth century.

	The Chad-Cameroon Petroleum Development and Pipeline Project
		Chad's small reserves would make Chad a marginal player in the petroleum market globally, although fewer restrictions environmentally and socially might counterbalance its small reserves and keep it a desirable place for the multinational corporations to continue extracting oil.
		Chad should see revenues of nearly $1.8 billion US and a dramatic improvement in physical infrastructure while Cameroon will realize about $540 million US from the charges arising from the transport of Chad's oil and the use of the pipeline to transport the oil to the Atlantic offloading dock.
		Chad is expected to produce approximately 917 million barrels of oil over its 28 year lifespan resulting in less than 90,000 barrels per day on average, a very small player in the world petroleum market.

	SudanTribune article : Chad’s presidential elections set for May (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Feb 24, 2006 (NDJAMENA) — The Chad government on Friday set 3 May for presidential elections, bucking a repeated call by opposition leaders to hold a pre-poll national forum on the electoral process and a host of other political and fiscal problems gripping the country.
		With officials beginning to spread across the country to set up electoral offices, the election season gets underway during tense days in Chad, as soldiers and military officers continue to desert their posts and talk about putting Deby out of office by means other than the ballot box.
		Deby, a former army commander who seized power in a coup in 1990 then won elections in 1996 and 2001, faces a swelling rebel movement in eastern Chad, a simmering battle with neighbouring Sudan and fiscal problems exacerbated by a recent rift with the World Bank over the use of oil revenues.
