Location of Chad

Chad is a land-locked country in north central Africa with an area of 1,284,000 sq km. It has land borders with Libya in the north, Sudan in the east, the Central African Republic in the south, and Cameroon, Nigeria and Niger in the west. Most of Chad is situated in the Sahel which means it can suffer drought and famine. Chad has over 120 languages, including the official languages French and Arabic. N'Djamena is the capital and largest city.

With Opera 6 you must select "identify as Mozilla 5" in the Quick preferences otherwise it doesn't work at all. When the "loading" icon has disappeared, the screen is normally still blank. If you then click the "restore" button, the map usually appears. I have not tested previous versions of Opera. Newer versions of Opera work.
