N'Djamena is the capital and largest city of Chad, home to approximately 1.6 million residents. It operates on West Africa Time (WAT, UTC+1). N'Djamena sits at the confluence of the Chari and Logone rivers on Chad's southwestern border with Cameroon and Nigeria, making it a regional crossroads. Chad is one of the world's poorest and most fragile states, yet possesses significant oil reserves (production began in 2003) and extraordinary natural and historical wealth. Lake Chad — once one of Africa's largest lakes, now reduced to 10% of its 1960s size due to climate change, irrigation, and population pressure — is an environmental crisis of continental importance. The Sahara Desert covers northern Chad, home to the Tibesti Mountains with peaks exceeding 3,400m. The Ounianga Lakes (a UNESCO site) and the Cave of Faya contain some of the world's most remarkable ancient rock art. Chad was the cradle of multiple ancient civilisations, including the Kanem-Bornu Empire, one of Africa's most powerful for nearly 1,000 years.
