CHAD In ancient Chad things were very very different than chad is today. Chad's history is rich and prosperous dating back as early as the 7rd century african tribes such as the Toubous settled down and started the practice of agriculture and cultivation. The mighty Toubous then founded the Kanem region which many people of islamic origin settled.The coexistence of these two tribes were the rock hrd foundation for many empires to come.In the 17th century to the 19th century chad was extremely popular for the arab slave trade the warring native tribes would kidnap their enemy tribe members and sell them to the arab traders they would then travel through the congo or saharah to be sold across the world. in 1960 Chad was taken by the French …show more content…
The petroleum trade in chad was supposed to seriously help the poverty rate and benefit the country but it seems it's done just about the opposite. Even though the oil trade brings in money it has negatively affected the local people ESPECIALLY the people around the petroleum extraction itself. For example In the Eastern Logone region that includes the Doba Oil Basin and about 38% of Chad's population was rated 3rd poorest region of chad despite the hundreds of thousands of barrels of oil exported. the other affects on the people are endless and further contamination is always a hazard. There already has been some contamination there have been drainage canals have polluted the surface including the groundwater used by the locals,infertile and contaminated quarries have been returned to farmers without being cleaned or secured,rivers have been sullied by oil spills. These are just some of the environmental impacts the oil trade has on Chad and I think this is a good example that not all companies and corporations can benefit a country even if they bring in money. The oil trade in Chad is a very controversial topic especially in chad there are benefits economically but there are also environmental
Chef Chad Clift can say that he caught a large Sockeye Salmon with his bare hands. Of course, that ten pound salmon was thrown to him by a worker at the Pike Place Fish Market. Still, the experience was fun, and he likes to tell everyone about his great fish catching abilities.
Chad is made up of over 140 different ethnic groups, whose diets are as diverse as their cultural traditions. The Arabs of northern Chad--who are nomadic or live in the capital of N'Djamena--eat staples of dairy and meat, while groups in the agricultural south have a plant-based diet. However, there are certain national dishes that all Chadians share.
Not much is known about Chad. It is a poor northern African country. There is a lot of terrorists that live there. Also, a lot of terrorists groups. Their leader is a very bad person. He doesn’t believe in being equal and shuts down woman rights.
The demand for oil is ever expanding as the world’s energy needs continue to increase resulting in companies striving to meet the demand for oil production. The huge costs of oil importation are what ultimately push the need to tap into our backyard rather than import oil from countries around the world for significantly higher prices. While oil corporations can be credited with providing people minimized costs of products due to their offshore oil drilling efforts. The fact of the matter is that having a cleaner environment is seen as being more vital than having a cheaper product at the cost of an unhealthier environment. Though, many experts agree that the potential risks of offshore oil drilling are often exaggerated, recent disasters such as the British Petroleum (BP) oil spill have proven
Oil damages the environment in other ways, such as the emissions oil produces into the atmosphere. Bryan Walsh says in his article, Over a Barrel, in TIME Magazine, that with the price of oil dropping, the urgency to find an alternative energy source is not where it should be. Walsh states that while we are not working to find another source to replace oil, the dependence on oil will only increase. It is estimated that oil production will increase by 20 percent by the year 2020. With the increase in production, CO2 levels will only increase in the atmosphere which will deteriorate the ozone layer of the atmosphere (Walsh).
Africa is home to many extraordinary and remarkable countries. One of these countries is Chad, which is only about eighty-five percent the size of the state of Alaska. While Chad may appear small, the people there speak more than 120 different languages. Chad has six neighboring countries: Niger, Libya, Sudan, Central African Republic, Cameroon, and Nigeria. This country is named after the famous Lake Chad.
Chad is an incredible country that has faced many struggles to rise up since achieving independence. Located in Central Africa, Chad is a geographically diverse country with a tropical south, barren deserts in the north, broad arid plains in the center and mountains like Emi Koussi in the northwest which makes up Chads 1.284 million sq km. Chad is full of different cultures and religions, most of Chadians are Muslim, Catholic, protestant or animast. As well as 129 languages including French, Arabic, and Sara. Chad uses its distinct geographical location to attain natural resources such as petroleum, uranium, kaolin, fish, gold, limestone, sand and gravel for its population of 11,412,107. Though Chad is rich in natural resources, the
Chadwick gives the reader a view on how Christianity was formed in the early centuries. Chadwick also broadens the horizon of the reader on the early church. This book grasps the reader’s attention and gives the reader the feeling that he or she is reading the Bible. The way the book it written, it resembles the way the King James Version of the Bible.
A prime issue with the oil industry is systematic issues within countries that have an abundance of oil however a low quality of government and economic
In order for Chad’s economy to succeed in the future, major reforms on oil revenue transparency are necessary. As a result of social and political conflicts, Chad has historically been characterized by division and warfare. Since the discovery of oil during the 1960s, these conflicts have only been exacerbated. The oil pipeline that began construction in 1999 as a result of this discovery inadvertently fueled the tension that had been created. The revenues that were generated from the pipeline were not allocated with transparency, which caused dissent on a global scale. This project was supposed to be an example for all oil-dependent developing countries that agreement and control of revenues could help grow a country’s economy. Ultimately, the methods used to control the revenues in Chad have been inefficient, and are in need of further reforms such as improved national dialogue and access to information.
The Chad oil pipeline was started in October 2000 and was a project consisting of over 300 oil wells in Chad which was planned to extract over one billion barrels of oil. The idea was to run a 640 mile long underground pipe from Chad through Cameroon to an off shore factory where it would be loaded, funded by big companies like Exxon/Mobil, and Chevron with a sizable lone from the World Bank the project seemed like a no brainer. Chad was granted it's independence from France in 1960 and has been plagued by civil wars since mostly notably the Chadian Civil War of 2005 to 2010 which lasted just over four years due to the strained relationship with the Muslim population of the North and the non-Muslim population of the south.
James Chadwick was born October 20, 1891 in Cheshire, England. He received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1935 for the discovery of the Neutron. He is the son of John Joseph Chadwick and Anne Mary Knowles. Not much is known about his early childhood, except that he came from a poor family at who struggled to get by at many times. Ever since his early childhood he was very smart, at the age of 11 he won the chance to go to the adored Manchester Grammar School. He was sadly unable to attend because his family was so port that they couldn't even afford to pay the small entrance fees. As a result, he attended Manchester’s Central Grammar School for boys. He continued to excel in his early academic career, he later moved onto Manchester High School
Oil has also been bad for some and good for others; oil has made many countries that have an abundance of oil fight for others oil to increase their revenue. Some country's revenues have been 94% oil exports (Owen, Roger)! In almost every country oil provides almost 50% of jobs available to the public. In the start when oil was just discovered countries like Germany, Britain, and Turkey struggled for the first oil pipeline so they can fuel their armies. In just a few years Iran, Iraq, and some of the gulf countries supplied over 30% of the world's oil (Owen, Roger). The middle east found that any country would pay any price to get some oil, so they would raise the price like they were running low, but in a reality they just wanted more money. As time goes on, the world starts to realize what this resource really is and is known as the "Terror resource." A reason it was called a terror resource is that it fuel armies which led to a more violent war than ever imagined, and it was a major contributor to global warming (Owen, Roger). Some even say "All in all, i wish we discovered water instead".For the middle eastern countries they need oil to supply the people and it works very well because a lot of middle east countries are rich. Oil can do good for some countries like to cancel taxes which will make the citizens very happy, and the government can be paying you like
The African country that compares to Chad is Egypt. Both of the countries have an issue with poverty, lack of education, food insecurity, population explosion, disease, weak statehood, and corruption. Chad and Egypt were both took over by European rule. Chad was taken over by the French. And Egypt had been under the British rule.
One of the biggest political and legal issues that affect the oil and gas industry is the cause of changing of present climates as there are a lot of harmful petroleum products that can cause damage to the environment such as carbon dioxide cause greenhouse gas, sulfur dioxide cause acid rain which could eventually be harmful to animal, planet and worsen illness and heart diseases… Another issue
