Introduction:

Chad, officially known as the Republic of Chad, is a landlocked country in Central Africa. It is the fifth-largest country in Africa, with an area of 1,284,000 square kilometers. Chad 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 has a tropical climate, with a rainy season from May to October and a dry season from November to April.

Chad is a largely rural country, with about 65% of the population living in rural areas. The country's economy is heavily dependent on agriculture, with cotton, livestock, and gum arabic being the main exports. Chad is also a major producer of oil, which has helped to boost the economy in recent years.

Chad is a member of the African Union, the Economic Community of Central African States, and the Organization of the Islamic Conference. The country has been plagued by political instability and civil war since its independence from France in 1960. However, in recent years, there has been a relative period of peace and stability, and the government is working to improve the country's infrastructure and economy.
