An interesting life you've led Rick! Yeah, my limited knowledge is it's two internal government army groups split along tribal lines (I could be wrong about that), and I would guess there's a huge and lengthy history involving shadowy and not so shadowy colonial and international powers too......it's a good example of how anglocentric my world view is as well.

I will definitely agree with you on the outside influencers neolib and marxist. Should be a very wealthy country with the amount of gold they had but it's nowhere to be found now.
Funny really as Africa makes Australia look like a kindergarten for resources but none of the countries have really benefited from it. To use your words, Corruption is rife.
They reckon Chad has over a billion barrels of oil reserve (we were looking for gas for power generation and where there's oil, there's gas)

Forgot to mention I was working for Brown and Root, a subsidiary of the Great Serpent Halliburton so I guess I'm tarred
