Country Advice Country Advice Chad Chad – TCD38688 – Saudi resident permits – Chadian civil war – Gorane and Zaghawa ethnic groups – Attack on Adre in April 2006 – Chadian refugees in Cameroon – Current security situation in Chad 3 June 2011 1. Please confirm that all new residents to Saudi Arabia have fingerprints taken on first entry. Saudi Arabia requires all non-Saudi residents to be fingerprinted in order to obtain residence permits (Iqamas), to transfer sponsorship and to request other passport services. This requirement was introduced in May 2008.1 The Saudi Embassy in Washington DC website advises that fingerprints of new arrivals are taken at entry points such as airports and sea ports.2 Sources located on expatriate forums indicate that fingerprints are taken electronically.3 Holders of Iqamas already resident in Saudi Arabia were required to attend designated centres (or mobile fingerprinting units) to have their fingerprints taken.4 2. Are there any reports of the fingerprinting system being compromised/bribery occurring? No information was located specifically relating to the compromising of the Saudi fingerprinting scheme by corrupt officials. It is noted that the Saudi government, in addition to external observers, has acknowledged that corruption is a major problem in Saudi Arabia.5 In 2011, the Saudi government established an anti-corruption commission to investigate instances of corruption.6 The September 2007 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI), published by anti-corruption coalition Transparency International, placed Saudi Arabia as the most corrupt Gulf country 1 Aziz S. 2009, „Huge rush for fingerprinting as school holidays near‟, The Saudi Gazette, 21 May http://www.saudigazette.com.sa/index.cfm?method=home.regcon&contentID=2009052138555 - Accessed 2 June 2011 – Attachment 1. 2 Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia Washington D.C. 2010, „Finger printing required for residence permits beginning April 15‟ 19 March http://www.saudiembassy.net/latest_news/news03191001.aspx - Accessed 2 June 2011 – Attachment 2. 3 British Expats Forum 2009, „Iqama Requirement‟ 30 October http://britishexpats.com/forum/showthread.php?p=8059730 - Accessed 2 June 2011 – Attachment 3. 4 Humaidan M. 2009, „Saudi Arabia: More mobile units eyed to ease fingerprinting rush‟, Arab News, 27 May, Menafn.com website http://www.menafn.com/qn_news_story_s.asp?StoryId=1093250719 - Accessed 2 June 2011 - Attachment 4. 5 Trust Law, undated, Anti-corruption profile - Saudi Arabia, http://www.trust.org/trustlaw/country-profiles/good- governance.dot?id=d8f340e0-8849-4e3b-9c8d-97292748753e - Accessed 2 June 2011 - Attachment 5. 6 Abdul Ghafour P. 2011, „Kingdom intensifies war on corruption‟, Arab News website, 7 May http://arabnews.com/saudiarabia/article386460.ece - Accessed 31 May 2011 – Attachment 6.

Information about residency permits in Saudi Arabia for Chad Nationals? What is the usual term? Would it expire if a Chad national had left Saudi Arabia for over six months? No information was found indicating that residency permit regulations were different for Chadian nationals in comparison to other foreigners; nonetheless, sources indicated that Chadian nationals were treated differently to other expatriates resident in Saudi Arabia. In September 2006, Human Rights Watch published a report stating that the Saudi government had stopped renewing the residency permits of all Chadian citizens in Saudi Arabia.8 This report further noted that under Saudi naturalisation laws, “it is nearly impossible for Chadians to acquire Saudi citizenship because they generally do not fulfil the educational and financial requirements.”9 Residency permits for Saudi Arabia (Iqama) are issued through the Ministry for the Interior.10 The Saudi government portal advises that the Iqama is valid for either one or two years.11 According to the Saudi government portal, a number of requirements must be met for an Iqama to be issued for the first time. These are: 1. The Passport (for Non-Saudi) bearing a visa isued by a Saudi embassy abroad. 2. Copy of The Passport (for Non-Saudi) 3. 2 Colour Personal Photos for Beneficiary 4. Business License 5.

A holder of an Iqama wishing to leave Saudi Arabia must have approval to leave from their sponsor, obtain an exit/re-entry visa, and return to the country within (a maximum of) seven months.13 The validity of a re-entry visa may be shorter than seven months and the duration is at the discretion of the business sponsor, and any extension up to the seven month maximum must be approved in writing by the sponsor. The duration of an exit-re-entry visa is measured from the date of the initial exit from Saudi Arabia.14 4. General information about Chad such as demographics, current government, and security situation. General Information The CIA world factbook gives the following information on Chad. Population: 10,758,945 (July 2011 est.) Ethnic Groups: Sara 27.7%, Arab 12.3%, Mayo-Kebbi 11.5%, Kanem-Bornou 9%, Ouaddai 8.7%, Hadjarai 6.7%, Tandjile 6.5%, Gorane 6.3%, Fitri-Batha 4.7%, other 6.4%, unknown 0.3% (1993 census)15 Chadian Civil War The current Chadian civil war began in 2005. Previously civil wars had been fought from the early 1960s to 1982 and from 1998 to 2002. At other times Chad had been involved in conflict with neighbours including Libya and Sudan. During the current civil war, the Chadian government has come under sustained military threat, particularly in the April 2008 attack on N‟Djamena which almost resulted in a combined force of two rebel armies taking the capital. A multi-national UN taskforce named MINURCAT16 was based in Chad from 25 September 2007 until 31 December 2010 when the mission was not renewed, primarily due to a lack of support from President Idriss Déby.

At the end of 2010 MINURCAT completed its mandate and UN-sponsored troops were withdrawn from Chad. A May 2011 update noted that despite the ending of the MINURCAT mission, security in eastern Chad had not had an adverse effect on the security situation which, according to the report, had improved.18 The report cited the under-secretary- General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency

The impact of oil exploitation on wellbeing in Chad Abstract This study assesses the impact of oil revenues on wellbeing in Chad. Data used come from the two last Chad Household Consumption and Informal Sector Surveys ECOSIT 2 & 3 conducted in 2003 and 2011 by the National Institute of Statistics and Demographic Studies. A synthetic index of multidimensional wellbeing (MDW) is first estimated using a multiple components analysis based on a large set of welfare indicators. The Difference-in-Difference approach is then employed to assess the impact of oil revenues on the average MDW at departmental level. Results show that departments receiving intense oil transfers increased their MDW about 35% more than those disadvantaged by the oil revenues redistribution policy. Also, the farther a department is from the capital city N’Djamena, the lower its average MDW. Economic inclusion may be better promoted in Chad if oil revenues fit local development needs and are effectively directed to the poorest departments.

  • Monthly Food Security Update for Chad: March 22, 2002
    Monthly Food Security Update for Chad: March 22, 2002 A joint report by FEWS NET and the National Nutritional Center for Nutrition and Food Technology (CNNTA) Summary In the context of food security monitoring, FEWS NET and the National Center for Nutrition and Food Technology (CNNTA) organized a small-scale anthropometric survey from February 27 through March 12 in the eastern Sahelian zone, visiting Rural Biltine, Arada, Kalait, Iriba, Guereda, Tiné and Bahai sub-prefectures. Preliminary results indicated that the rate of global acute malnutrition, calculated as a percent of the median, was less than 5 percent in about half of the survey villages (results from other villages are still expected). On the basis of these results, the overall food situation is considered good in the survey areas. Cereal availability and accessibility are good in most departments of the country. However, accessibility remains difficult for households in Borkou, Ennedi and Tibesti Departments (known as BET) in the far northern part of the country that do not produce cereals. These departments get their food supplies from neighboring Biltine and Ouaddai Departments. Nonetheless, transportation to and from the BET is difficult due to the rugged condition of desert roads. Current off-season farming activities include tending market gardens and harvesting produce, and harvesting berbéré (off-season, flood-irrigated sorghum) in the berbéré producing zones of Mayo Boneye, Mayo Dalla, Dar Sila and Salamat Departments where the crop harvests are reasonably good. Irrigated wheat in the modern sector polders of Lake Chad is nearing maturity while some wheat is already being harvested in the traditional polders.

  • Chad Food Security Update: November 25, 2000
    Chad Food Security Update: November 25, 2000 Summary The dry season is in full effect in the Sahelian Zone. The rain front (ITCZ) has retreated considerably southward since the end of October. The most important activity since the beginning of November is the threshing of cereals (millet and sorghum) in the areas of good production. The long cycle crops that are generally grown in the Sudanian Zone are at the stage of maturity-harvest. The off-season crops ? berbéré (or recessional sorghum), vegetables, and wheat and rice from irrigated fields ? are developing normally in sites suitable for their cultivation. Cereal prices increased in mid-November compared to prices in October, even in the Sudanian Zone where they were close to normal during October. According to projections of the 2000/01 season by the joint CILSS/FAO and Directorate of Agricultural Statistics mission, total gross cereal production is estimated at 890,000 MT, a decline of 28% below last year’s level of 1,229,800 MT and 16% below the five-year average (1995/96 - 1999/2000). The provisional deficit is estimated around 365,000 MT. The food security stock has not changed. At 1,350 MT, it is at one of its lowest levels. 1. Agroclimatic Conditions 1.1. Weather Conditions The Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) fluctuated between 8º N and 9º N during the first dekad (10-day period) of November. Rainfall was insignificant or non-existent in the southern, Sudanian zone of the country where rains normally end later in November. Water points in some areas may not fill up, posing problems later for livestock as certain water points will dry up earlier than usual.

A limited number of CMR have been found by operators in the past, as recently as 2015. While the extent of remaining contamination is not known, the level is thought to be low. However, large portions of the northern regions of Chad, which are heavily contaminated by mines and explosive remnants of war (ERW), remain un-surveyed, and it is possible CMR contamination could remain. 22 STATES PARTIES CHAD RECOMMENDATION FOR ACTION > Targeted survey is needed, particularly in the Borkou and Tibesti regions, to identify mines and explosive remnants of war (ERW) contamination, including CMR. CONTAMINATION The extent of CMR contamination remaining in Chad Tibesti region, thought to be one of the most heavily is unknown, but is not believed to be heavy.

  • Poverty, Inequality and Oil Exploitation in Chad
    Poverty, Inequality and Oil Exploitation in Chad Revised final report Submitted to Partnership for Economic Policy (PEP) By Gadom Djal Gadom Laboratory of Studies and Research in Applied Economics and Management (LAEREAG), University of N’Djamena, Chad (Lead researcher) & Djossou Gbetoton Nadège Adèle Department of Economics and Management, University of Abomey Calavi, Benin Kane Gilles Quentin Department of Economics and Management, University of Yaoundé II, Cameroon Mboutchouang Kountchou Armand Department of Economics and Management, University of Yaoundé II, Cameroon Chad May 2016 1 Acknowledgements This study was carried out with financial and scientific support from the Partnership for Economic Policy (PEP) with funding from the Department for International Development (DFID) of the United Kingdom (or UK Aid), and the Government of Canada through the International Development Research Center (IDRC). The authors are also grateful to Abdelkrim Araar for technical support and guidance, as well as to Manuel Paradis and Luca Tiberti for for the enriching comments and suggestions. 2 Abstract This paper analyses the impact of the emergence of the petroleum sector on household wellbeing in Chad. A special attention is given to determine the main determinants of the distribution of the petroleum rent, and how this latter can be improved in order to be socially more efficient. To monitor the change in wellbeing over time, we estimate a synthetic index of multidimensional wellbeing, and this using two household surveys, collected in 2003 and in 2011. Our results show that the multidimensional inequality has slightly increase between 2003 and 2011 from 0.591 to 0.609. The Growth Incidence Curve indicates that the poorer and richest classes have earned in wealth but for the large middle class, the wealth have decreased.
