"When traveling anywhere in Chad, American citizens should travel in groups, keep a cell phone (for when service is available) or two-way radio in reach at all times, avoid travel after dusk, and leave detailed travel plans with a reliable point of contact. Americans traveling with Thurarya satellite phones should register the phones with Chadian authorities." US State Department

"Terrorists are active in countries neighbouring Chad, including Algeria. In March 2004, Chadian forces fought with members of an Algerian extremist group in the northern Tibesti region of Chad. In 2004, this group kidnapped a group of Western tourists in Algeria and held them for more than six months in Algeria and Mali. You should also be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks, which could be against civilian targets, including places frequented by foreigners. ."
