It's in the middle of Africa, however.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chad
Chad has a population of 16 million, of which 1.6 million live in the capital and largest city of N'Djamena. With a total area of around 1,300,000 km2 (500,000 sq mi), Chad is the fifth-largest country in Africa and the twentieth largest nation by area in the world.
And not a great place to be.
Chad ranks the 2nd lowest in the Human Development Index, with 0.394 in 2021 placed 190th, and a least developed country facing the effects of being one of the poorest and most corrupt countries in the world. Most of its inhabitants live in poverty as subsistence herders and farmers.
Chad is listed as a failed state by the Fund for Peace (FFP).
The United Nations' Human Development Index ranks Chad as the seventh poorest country in the world, with 80% of the population living below the poverty line.
In grade 9 some kids did a fundraising project to travel to Chad. This was like... 1978.
I learned a lot about Chad then nd subsequently too.
Like it was the only nation on Earth to have NO WATER in or next to it when it's big lake dried completely one year. It really is that barren.
They had to send all the money they raised to a charity, they were scamming the system & the teachers weren't dumb back in the day, eh? Lesson learned I hope!
