It has started.
Fighting has broken out in Chad’s capital, N’Djamena. We can hear and feel the explosions, since the Presidential Palace is very near. I came out to the lobby to see what was happening this morning because we were getting phone calls with people talking...
Regional Instability – A Triangle of Movement
Greetings from the N’Djamena, Chad – the capital, and at the moment one of the many hotspots of instability in Chad. First things first, our team is safe. We get regular updates from the General Manager and the French have a regular presence on the grounds, including...
Chaos as Norm – we stay in Chad for at least one more day…and who knows.
Hello from N’Djamena: We made it safely out of Eastern Chad, right before violence and instability broke out; we could have been stuck there, since the road we last traveled was closed down the very next day. Our friends in the camps are not as lucky, with aid staff...
