There has been a succession of military governments in power since Chad's independence from France in 1960. The latest regime has promised multi-party elections. Muslims have dominated in government since 1979, but there has been religious freedom with the constraints of continual civil war. Civil war and political infighting since independence have fragmented the country along religious and ethnic lines.

There are more totally unreached peoples in Chad than in any other African country.

For further information and specific prayer points for Chad, look up the book "Operation World" by Patrick Johnstone.
