Neighbors


Look at that map. Its huge right? Well the Continent of Africa is just that. A continent. A large one at that. It's made up of about 50+ countries(54-57) and the country of Chad is one of them. But what countries surround Chad? To the north is Libya, North North East is Egypt, East is Sudan, South is the Central African Republic, South South West is Cameroon, West is Niger and Nigeria. But if the Beri were to deal with anyone it would be with those primarily from Sudan(a large portion of the Zaghawan people inhabit refugee camps here), CAR, and Libya.

Unfortunately the current situation of the Beri in Sudan is tragic, like that of many other peoples that have been displaced due to all the conflict and strife going on in that region and most of africa. With in Chad, the Zaghawa get along well with other people. They definitely aren't discriminated against, their group finds themselves in powerful positions in the government yet they only make up roughly 25% of the population..
