N'Djamena
N’Djamena (/əndʒɑːˈmeɪnɑː/;[2][3] French: N'Djaména; Arabic: انجامينا‎‎ Injāmīnā) is the capital and largest city of Chad. A port on the Chari River, near the confluence with the Logone River, it directly faces the Cameroonian town of Kousséri, to which the city is connected by a bridge. It is also a special statute region, divided into 10 arrondissements. It is a regional market for livestock, salt, dates, and grains. Meat, fish and cotton processing are the chief industries, and the city continues to serve as the center of economic activity in Chad.

History Edit
 
N’Djamena was founded as Fort-Lamy by French commander Émile Gentil on May 29, 1900, and named after Amédée-François Lamy, an army officer who had been killed in the Battle of Kousséri a few days earlier.[4] It was a major trading city and became the capital of the region and nation.[citation needed]
 
During the Second World War, the French relied heavily upon the city's airport to move troops and supplies.[5] On 21 January 1942, a lone German He 111 of the Sonderkommando Blaich successfully bombed the airfield at Fort-Lamy, destroying oil supplies and ten aircraft.[6] Fort-Lamy received its first bank branch in 1950, when the Bank of West Africa (BAO) opened a branch there.[citation needed]
 
On April 6, 1973, the President François Tombalbaye[4] changed its name to N’Djamena (taken from the Arab name of a nearby village, Niǧāmīnā, meaning "place of rest") as part of his authenticité program of Africanization. The city was occupied by Libya during the 1980–81 Libyan intervention as part of the Chadian–Libyan conflict,[7] and the associated Transitional Government of National Unity.[citation needed]
 
The city was partly destroyed during the Chadian Civil War, in 1979 and again in 1980. In these years, almost all of the population fled the town, searching for refuge on the opposite bank of the Chari River in Cameroon, next to the city of Kousseri. The residents did not return until 1981–82, after the end of the clashes. Until 1984, facilities and services were subject to strict rationing, and schools remained closed.[8]
 
The period of turmoil in the city was started by the abortive coup attempted by the northerner Prime Minister Hissène Habré against the southerner President Félix Malloum: while Malloum and the national army loyal to him were defeated, the intervention in the battle of other northern factions rival to that of Habré complicated the situation. A temporary truce was reached in 1979 through international mediation, establishing the warlord Goukouni Oueddei as head of a government of national unity with his rival Habré as Defense Minister. The intense rivalry between Goukouni and Habré caused the eruption of new clashes in the city in 1980; N’Djamena found itself divided into sectors controlled by the various warlords. The tug-of-war reached a conclusion after many months only when Goukouni asked for the intervention of the Libyans, whose tanks overwhelmed Habré's defenses in the capital.[9]
 
Following differences between Goukouni and Muammar Gaddafi and international disapproval of Libyan intervention, the Libyan troops left the capital and Chad in 1981. This opened the door to Habré, who marched on N’Djamena, occupying the city with little resistance in 1982 and installing himself as the new president.[10] He was eventually dislodged in a similar fashion in 1990 by a former general of his, Idriss Déby, as of 2016 the head of state of Chad.[citation needed]
 
The city had only 9,976 inhabitants in 1937, but a decade later, in 1947, the population had almost doubled to 18,435. In 1968, after independence, the population reached 126,483. In 1993, it surpassed half a million with 529,555. A good deal of this growth has been due to refugees fleeing into N’Djamena for security, although many people fled N’Djamena, also depending on the political situation.[5]
 
On April 13, 2006, a rebel United Front for Democratic Change attack on the city was defeated[11] in the Battle of N’Djamena. The city was once again attacked on February 2, 2008, by UFDD and RFC rebels.[12] (See Battle of N'Djamena (2008))
 
Demographics Edit
 
Year Pop. ±%
1937 9,976 —   
1940 12,552 +25.8%
1947 18,375 +46.4%
1960 60,000 +226.5%
1970 130,000 +116.7%
1993 529,555 +307.4%
2000 728,000 +37.5%
2010 860,000 +18.1%
2012 1,092,066 +27.0%
In N’Djamena, only about twenty- six percent of the area is urbanized. When looking at the entire continent of Africa, it is only thirty- five percent urbanized as a whole, therefore N’Djamena is the most urbanized city in Chad and is fairly well urbanized compared to the total urbanization of the country. With that, the country of Chad does not have a good distribution of people. Most residents of Chad live in the capital city, N’Djamena, or the Logone Occidental Region just south of the capital. Along with poor distribution of people, the age of the population is somewhat unbalanced. Just about half of the population is under the age of fifteen. Of these people, it is a uniform divide of males and females. While the division between genders is even, the divide among ethnic groups and religion are significantly different.[13] A variety of religions are practiced in the city, but with a clear Islamic predominance. The main ethnic groups are: Daza (16.97%), Chadian Arabs (11.08%), Hadjerai (9.15%), Ngambaye (6.41%), Bilala (5.83%), Kanembu (5.80%), Maba (4.84%), Kanuri (4.39%), Gor (3.32%), Kuka (3.20%), Sara (2.24%), and Barma (2.10%).
 
Economy Edit
 
N'Djamena's primary economic source is agricultural work. About 80% of the population within N'Djamena works within farming-based industries, including cultivation of crops and growing livestock. The economy in N'Djamena is therefore almost totally reliant on good weather, making the economy struggle in years with low rainfall. N'Djamena receives financial aid from the World Bank, as well as the African Development Bank. There is a high demand for skilled laborers within N'Djamena to work for oil and gas sectors, as well as laborers for foreign non-governmental organizations, medical services, and English teaching. Residents in N'Djamena are to be held accountable for up to 60% of total income, regardless of the source of income.[14]
 
Geography Edit
 
Astronaut's view of N’Djamena (Fort-Lamy)
N’Djamena is located at 12°6′47″N 15°2′57″E, on the confluence of the Chari and Logone rivers.[5]
 
While primarily an administrative center, the city includes the Nassara Strip commercial centre and residential areas, such as Mbololo, Chagoua, Paris Congo and Moursal. The main commercial avenue of the city is the Avenue Charles de Gaulle.
 
Climate Edit
 
N’Djamena has a semi-arid climate with a short wet season and a lengthy dry season. Despite the fact that the city receives on average approximately 510 mm (20 in) of rain annually, due to the area's very high evapotranspiration, N'Djamena still falls into the semi-arid climate category. The wet season lasts from June to September, with the heaviest precipitation occurring in August. The dry season essentially covers the remaining eight months. Based on annual temperatures, N'Djamena is one of the hottest major cities on the planet. In only one month of the year (August) do average monthly high temperatures fail to cross the 32 °C (90 °F) mark. The city's highest temperatures are usually seen between March and June, just before the onset of the heavier rains. However, outside of the warmest months of the year, nights in N'Djamena are generally tolerable.

Tourism and culture Edit
 
The National Centre of Cultural Activity
Attractions in the city include the Chad National Museum, a cathedral and several mosques. Within the Chad National Museum, one can view the partial skull of Sahelanthropus or "Toumaï."[18] This skull was discovered in the northern part of Chad and is considered to be from one of the earliest human ancestors.[19] Views of sunset across the Chari River can also be spectacular. N’Djamena was named Capital of Islamic Culture for 2009.[20]
 
Education Edit
 
In Africa, education can be thought of as a luxury even though it is compulsory and free and has been since Chad's independence in 1960.[21] SOS schools have been set up around the continent to provide children with a quality education. Currently, not more than forty percent of elementary age children in Chad have an opportunity to attend classes and with N'Djamena's poor state stability it is even harder for children to get and education. After progressing through elementary school, some students go on to a university.[22] N’Djamena has two universities: the University of N’Djamena with French as the language of instruction, built in 1971;[23] and King Faisal University - Chad with Arabic as the language of instruction,[24] built in 1991. Secondary schools include the long established Lycée Félix Éboué and Lycée technique commercial, Lycée Montaigne de N'Djamena (French international school), and the American International School of N’Djamena. Secondary school within Chad is mandatory, however only 68% of students over the age of 12 attend school. Of that 68%, 70% of these students attend school within N'Djamena. The American International School of N'Djamena is a popular choice within the city for secondary schools as international institutions are of a higher standard than public schools. Many of the students in international schools are children of executives, diplomats, and non-governmental organization employees.[25]
 
Government Edit
 
N’Djamena is the home of the National Assembly of Chad, along with many political organisations and parties, and every national ministry. The Supreme Court and Court of Appeal are also in N’Djamena, along with every major embassy in Chad, including the French and US embassies.[26] It is sometimes considered within the region of Chari-Baguirmi, although separate.[27]
 
Transport Edit
 
The city is the eastern terminus of the Trans-Sahelian Highway, and is linked to East Africa by the N’Djamena–Djibouti Highway. The Tripoli-Cape Town Highway also passes through N’Djamena, making it a key Central African location in the Trans-African Highway network. N’Djamena is linked by road bridge to Kousseri in Cameroon.
 
N’Djamena International Airport Hassan Djamous (IATA code NDJ) is located on the outskirts of the city.
 
Historically, N’Djamena's main link to the exterior was by river boat up the Chari and Logone rivers, but these now carry little trade.
 
The city has no railway links. However, railways have been proposed as part of the AfricaRail project.
 
Twin cities Edit
 
  Toulouse, France, since 1980.[28]
  Stupino, Russia, since 2000.[29]
