The Chad Cultural Centre seeks to awaken a conscious interest in national traditions. The lives of the people have been so dislocated by war and famine since the 1960s, however, that Chad is more impoverished than ever, and the main efforts of the government and people are now directed toward survival.

I INTRODUCTION Chad , republic in north central Africa. Chad is bounded on the north by Libya; on the east by Sudan; on the south by the Central African Republic; and on the west by Cameroon, Nigeria, and Niger. The landlocked country has an area of 1,284,000 sq km (495,755 sq mi). N’Djamena is the capital and largest city. II LAND AND RESOURCES Chad’s terrain is dominated by the low-lying Chad Basin (elevation about 250 m/820 ft), which rises gradually to mountains and plateaus on the north, east, and south. In the east heights of more than 900 m (more than 3,000 ft) are attained in the Ennedi and Ouaddaï plateaus. The greatest elevations are reached in the Tibesti massif in the north, with a maximum height of 3,415 m (11,204 ft) at Emi Koussi. The northern half of the republic lies in the Sahara. The only important rivers, the Logone and Chari (Shari), are located in the southwest and flow into Lake Chad. The lake doubles in size during the rainy season. A Climate The northern portion of Chad is hot and arid. The central section has three seasons: hot from March to July; rainy from July to October, with rainfall averaging from about 250 to 750 mm (about 10 to 30 in); and cool during the remaining months. The southern section has similar seasons but receives about 1,145 mm (about 45 in) of rain in the same four months. B Natural Resources Although only 3 percent of Chad’s land is cultivated, the agricultural resources are of primary importance. Indigenous crops, as well as those recently introduced, yield important food products. Extensive fish resources in Lake Chad and the Chari River are also of vital importance. Natron (sodium carbonate) is the only mineral extracted in significant quantities. Deposits of petroleum near Lake Chad and uranium in the north have been discovered but remain unexploited. Other untapped mineral resources include tungsten, tin, bauxite, gold, iron ore, and titanium.

An area of ancient settlement, it has not often been characterized by peaceful interaction between its many different groups. http://expedition.bensenville.lib.il.us/Africa/chad/culture.htm

Chad - Culture Overview Chad is one of the most ethnically diverse nations in Africa. An area of ancient settlement, it has not often been characterized by peaceful interaction between its many different groups. Like its neighbors Niger and Sudan, the nation of Chad encompasses the latitude where the Islamic peoples of the north encounter the Negroid African peoples of the sub-Saharan continent. Long-standing difficulties between the Islamic sultanates and the dense populations of the south were further complicated by the French colonial administration, which made efforts to exploit the labor of southern agricultural workers. The period of independence since 1960 has been characterized by chronic civil war, which has left Chadians little time to celebrate or even investigate a national culture. It has also left little opportunity to escape from the poverty that keeps Chadians among the poorest people in Africa. Chad's ethnic diversity is represented by more than 100 languages, of which French and Arabic are official. Ethnic differences tend to fall into regional groups. In the south are the Sara peoples, the largest group at about 20% of the population. In southern communities traditional animist beliefs mingle with Christianity. Inhabitants of the central part of the country are mostly nomadic and pastoralist, and tend to be Muslim. Islam in this area was stabilized by powerful sultanates in Kanem, Baguirmi, and Wadai. In the north, the sparse population is of mixed background, and though ostensibly part of the Muslim world, older traditions still persist especially in the mountainous areas of Tibesti.

home search help worldguide ... Related Weblinks Chad Culture With over 100 languages spoken, three major religions, three climatic zones and an ancient history, the culture of Chad is rich, diverse and complex. This complexity makes it extremely difficult to make general statements about the nation's culture as what is important for one group or region may not hold for another. In the northern third of the country, in the heart of the Sahara, the Toubou people are in the majority. They are descendents of Berber migrants and are, like the Arabs to the south, Muslim. They are herders and nomads, fiercely independent, strong in battle and extremely clan-oriented. Each clan has access to specific wells, pastures and oases. Despite only numbering 150,000 people, the Toubou have controlled Chad since 1982. Another broad grouping with a distinct cultural influence is the Arabs, concentrated in the middle third of Chad and making up a third of Chad's population. Chadian Arabs are mostly seminomads, grazing their herds over the Sahel. There are many diverse ethnic subgroups under the 'Arab' banner. The Maba people have a unique form of social structure originating in pre-Islamic times, based on four age grades. Cutting across kin and class divisions, people born within a certain time-frame move from one grade to another, bound by friendships and obligations for mutual aid. In the capital, you might be lucky enough to hear Arabic musicians playing traditional music. These people are usually from the
