There is extreme risk to your security in Chad and we advise against all travel due to the unstable security situation throughout the country.
On 2 February 2008 rebel forces entered the capital N’Djamena and there has been heavy fighting with Government troops. The security situation could deteriorate further without warning.
New Zealanders in Chad are advised to consider leaving if it is safe to do so. Otherwise, you are advised stay indoors in a secure location and maintain a low profile. You should maintain a high degree of security awareness and monitor the media and local information sources for further information on the security situation.
New Zealanders travelling or resident in Chad are strongly encouraged to register their details with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade through this website.
