Chad and its Cuisine

Chad (Arabic: تشاد; French: Tchad), officially: جمهورية تشاد; Jumhūriyyat Tshād; République du Tchad; Republic of Chad is the most northerly of the Central African countries. Its capital and largest city is N'Djamena and it gained independence from France on August 11th 1960. While many political parties are active, power lies firmly in the hands of President Déby and his political party, the Patriotic Salvation Movement. Chad remains plagued by political violence and recurrent attempted coups d'état, and is one of the poorest and most corrupt countries in Africa. Chad's peoples may be classified according to the geographical region in which they live. In the south live sedentary people such as the Sara, the nation's main ethnic group, whose essential social unit is the lineage. In the Sahel sedentary peoples live side-by-side with nomadic ones, such as the Arabs, the country's second major ethnic group. The north is inhabited by nomads, mostly Toubous. The nation's official business languages are French and Arabic, but over 100 languages and dialects are spoken. Due to the important role played by itinerant Arab traders and settled merchants in local communities, Chadian Arabic has become a lingua franca. In terms of beliefs some 54% of Chadians are Muslim, 20% Roman Catholic, 14% Protestant, 10% animist, and 3% atheist.

Millet forms the basis for many Chadian staples, as does sorghum. The main protein source is fish, though beef and chicken also form a significant part of the diet. Stews are often made with okra and cassava leaves are the main greens. The most common ingredients in Chadian cuisine are local fruit, rains and vegetables, milk and meat products.
