Chad risks

Although the security situation in Chad has slowly improved since its peace agreement with Sudan in 2010, the US Department of State recommends avoiding travel to eastern Chad and the border regions.

Incidents of robbery, carjacking at gunpoint, and murder have been reported throughout the country. While there have been no kidnapping-for-ransom incidents since 2010, regional trends suggest the threat remains. Although the last active rebel group was recently disarmed, armed groups might reemerge with little warning.
