Chad

it's territory is the fifth-largest in Africa,but it's poplulation---9.1 million---is even less than the tiny Tunisia.early civilazation? can't read by western jounalist at least,probably by archeologists,
anthropologists,or it's rebel leaders and aborigined witch.

but actually, there were some experts in pottery in Chad 2,500 years before.the hunters, traders,and of course, notorious slave traders were wide-spread.in the early 20th century, slaves who were raided by armed businessmen were sold at the same price as a horse,and one out of five would died of hunger, disease or cold on the route to destination.

in 1900, French defeated it and named it as one of the French Equatorial colony after 13 years.being the most neglected region among colonies,the French only paid attention to the furtile south. they build cotton farms. in 1960, Chad gained its independence by southerner Christian leader.it certainly displeased the northerners who treat the southerners as black slaves only.the southerner-base government banned the muslim-backed policital party,which triggered violent opposition.in 1966,the revolt developed into ta fully-fledge war with the help of weapons from Libya.first domecratic movements, peace deals, Darfur refugees....though it dabbled into the global oil business in 2003 with the help of Cameroon and 80% income will go to education and public infrastature, the capital declared an emergency.what's worse, there is no sign of improvement.

in LP,it's said this land records 'the most painful memory of African---the harsh climate,geographic remoteness ,poor endowment and lack of infrastructure have combined together to a weak economy and political turmoil'. from march to may every year, the temperture can easily rise to 45c. it certainly has an appalling attraction to whom wants extreme travel experience.
'except police shoots people on the street,the capital would be quite attractive'...

May God bless this country!!
