United Nations Mission in the Central African Republic and Chad (MINURCAT) / European Union Force (EUFOR)
United Nations Mission in the Central African Republic and Chad (MINURCAT) / European Union Force (EUFOR) Short Mission Brief I. Activity Summary: MINURCAT and EUFOR Overview The United Nations Mission in the Central African Republic and Chad (MINURCAT), active from 2007 through 2010, was challenged from the start by the Chadian government’s minimal consent for a UN presence, which precluded the political processes essential to successful peacekeeping and eventually forced the abrupt closure of the mission. Though MINURCAT and the associated European Union Force Chad/CAR (EUFOR Chad/CAR) represent an interesting example of peacekeeping partnerships, their work was limited largely to protection of civilians and security sector training activities, without the ability to address underlying causes of conflict and instability. Regional dynamics and the Chadian government’s adept maneuvering hindered the intervention’s success in protecting vulnerable populations. Background Chad and its political fortunes have been deeply affected by regional actors since its days as a French colony. Since Chad’s independence in 1960, France, Sudan, and Libya have provided patronage, arms, support to rebel groups, and peacekeepers. Chad has hosted around 1,000 French troops in N’Djamena since the end of the colonial regime, maintaining one of three permanent French African military bases in Chad’s capital city. French and Chadian leaders place a premium on their personal relationships with one another to this day. Chad was the first country to host a peacekeeping operation from the African Union’s precursor, the Organization of African Unity, in response to a civil war between the government of President Goukouni Oueddei and the Northern Armed Forces of former Vice President Hissène Habré. -

Toward Resolving Chad's Interlocking Conflicts
Toward Resolving Chad’s Interlocking Conflicts AUTHORS Sarah Bessell, Kelly Campbell December 2008 UNITED STATES INSTITUTE OF PEACE 1200 17th Street NW, Suite 200 Washington, DC 20036-3011 www.usip.org SYNOPSIS This USIPeace Briefing, based on a recent event, explores the internal, regional, and international components of the crisis in Chad. OVERVIEW The fragility of the Chadian government, as well as the fragmentation among Chadian civil society, political parties, and rebel movements, poses significant challenges that Chadian civil society, regional governments, African institutions and the international community must address with a coordinated strategy. Although the situation in the country is often examined through the lens of the Darfur crisis, several internal factors drive the instability in Chad and its regional actions. Thus far, efforts to address the political, security and humanitarian problems in Chad have seemed piecemeal and uncoordinated. A consensus is building that a comprehensive strategy encompassing the national, regional and international dimensions of the crisis is needed to move toward peace and stability both within Chad and between Chad and its neighbors. In October 2008, USIP and the International Peace Institute, in collaboration with Caring for Kaela, sponsored a multi-stakeholder consultation to address the political instability in Chad and its regional implications. The attendees included representatives from the Chadian diaspora, ambassadors from countries in the region, U.N. and EU representatives and experts from the non-governmental community and academia. This report summarizes the consultation’s main themes and recommendations. The first section addresses the security, political and humanitarian situation in Chad; examines the August 13 Political Agreement between the Chadian government and opposition parties and suggests ideas for the way forward. -

CHAPTER ONE Introduction 1.0 Overview: the Term Daju Or Dadjo
CHAPTER ONE Introduction 1.0 Overview: The term Daju or Dadjo in French is the most widely used name the Daju people use it to refer to themselves linguistically "bike" means Daju in Daju language. Historically the name comes from Ahmad el-Daj as they believe. The Daju People are a group of several distinct ethnicities speaking related languages living on both sides of the Chad-Sudan border and in the Nuba Mountains. Separated by distance and speaking different dialects. Daju people have come from the mountains of Fazoghli; South of Sennar and settled in a long belt stretching from South Kurdufan westward through Darfur and into Chad. It is assumed that, Daju came originally from the North of Africa, having been expelled from that part of Africa to Darfur. The traditional locations of the Daju were at one time the predominant race in central Darfur, the earliest known founders of a monarchy there, and that they were supplanted by the Tunjur about the sixteenth century and they came from the east and were joined in Darfur by the African Beygo from the South-east and that the Beygo borrowed the language of the Daju. Another point of view, that Daju has lived for at least a century in the West. Their settlement ranged from Tagali to Wadai and tell stories that indicate they came from the East (e.g. Gebel Qedir ). They first attained power during the fifteenth century in Darfur. From the rise of the Tungur until the present day their central point was in Darsila, and most likely the Kordofan colony originated there. -

Contrôle De La Peste Porcine Africaine (PPA) Dans Les Élevages Porcins Traditionnels Au Tchad
Journal of Animal &Plant Sciences, 2012. Vol.15, Issue 3: 2261-2266 Publication date 31/10/2012, http://www.m.elewa.org/JAPS ; ISSN 2071-7024 Contrôle de la Peste Porcine Africaine (PPA) dans les élevages porcins traditionnels au Tchad Ban-bo B.A*., Idriss O.A**. ; Squarzoni C.D*** * Faculté des Sciences exactes et appliqués - Université de N’Djaména ** Coordonnateur National des Projet et programme Grippe Aviaire ; *** Conseillère technique principale du projet grippe aviaire OSRO/CHD/602/EC *Auteur pour toute correspondance, Email: [email protected] Mots clés : peste porcine africaine, contrôle, porcs Tchad, abattage systématique. Keywords : African swine fever control, pigs, Chad, Culling. 1. RÉSUMÉ Le seul moyen de lutte contre la PPA semble être la prophylaxie sanitaire. Beaucoup des pays en Amérique du Sud comme en Europe sont parvenus à éradiquer cette maladie en procédant à l’abattage systématique des porcs dans les foyers (fermes, villages, district.) définis par les autorités administratives de la place. Cette prophylaxie sanitaire est souvent accompagnée d’une surveillance générale ou ciblée. Les approches et les méthodes d’abattage porcin ont été variées selon les moyens et la volonté dont disposent les services vétérinaires en charge de la question. L’expérience du Tchad est probante donnant lieu à des spéculations et favorisant la propagation de la maladie. Les textes administratifs (Loi, Arrêtés ministériels et Décisions) ont servi de bases de travail. Des mesures de police sanitaire ont été prises dès l’annonce officielle de la PPA à l’extrême Nord du Cameroun. Des missions de sensibilisations et de formations des producteurs ont été organisées.
