U.S. Embassy in Chad

Location: Outside N’Djamena and in the North of Chad

Event:  The previously reported armed non-governmental groups in northern Chad have moved south and appear to be heading toward N’Djamena.  Due to their growing proximity to N’Djamena, there is the possibility for violence in the city.

Actions to Take:

• Have a personal emergency action plan that does not rely on U.S. government assistance.
• Take advantage of commercial transportation options, if you wish to depart Chad.
• The U.S. Government discourages travel to areas in northern Chad.
• Reconsider any travel within Chad outside the city of N’Djamena.
