Chad’s national
flag is composed of three vertical bands, which are a combination of the
traditional Pan-African colours and those of the French flag, which it was
ruled by before gaining independence. On the hoist side of the flag is the blue
band, which is symbolistic of the vast blue sky that covers Chad as well as the
hope of its people. In the centre is a yellow stripe, which is representative
of the sun that shines over the nation. Finally, the red band on the right side
of the flag portrays the unity and sacrifice of Chadians to make their country
better. This flag was adopted on the 6th of November 1959 and is
almost identical to the flag of Romania.
Chad is an
African nation located in the northern central region of the continent. It is a
landlocked country, surrounded by the Central African Republic to the south,
the nations of Nigeria, Niger and Cameroon to the west, Libya to the north and

Africa at 1.284 million square kilometres. The nation is home to approximately
21.6 million people, with a large amount living in poverty. As Chad is ranked
187th out of 189 countries on the Human Development Index. The
capital city of Chad is N’Djamena. The official languages of Chad are French
and Arabic. However, there are over 100 languages spoken in Chad, and more than
200 ethnic groups, giving it the name the ‘Babel Tower of the World’. The

lake in the 1960s, but has since shrunk by up to 95%, now making it the 17th
largest freshwater lake in the world.
