Used to be a French colony. Mostly Muslim. It's been through the usual African litany of military coups. Currently run by the son of the previous dictator, whose record was just as bloody as you'd expect. But they really only control the area around the capital. Huge areas of the country are completely lawless. There's a lot of bleedover from the Sudan conflict in the east, where every faction flits back and forth across the Chadian border. The north is run by warlords who fund their militias by trafficking people to the Libyan slave markets.

Shithole country.

Edit: Forgot to mention, the dictator's name is literally Déby.
