Chad

About Chad

Chad sprawls across north-central Africa, reaching from the sands of the Sahara to fertile savanna in the south, entirely landlocked. Its capital, N'Djamena, sits where the Chari and Logone rivers meet near the Cameroonian border. The country takes its name from Lake Chad, a shallow lake that has sustained civilizations for millennia, while the volcanic Tibesti Mountains rise dramatically in the desert north.

• ·Chad is named after Lake Chad, from a local word meaning 'lake' — so the lake's name essentially translates to 'Lake Lake.'
• ·Emi Koussi, a volcano in Chad's Tibesti Mountains, is the highest peak anywhere in the Sahara Desert.
• ·Chad's flag is nearly identical to Romania's, differing only in a slightly darker shade of blue.
