Prince Ofori-Atta http://en.afrik.com/article12659.html Mon, 25 Feb 2008 17:27:59 +0100 Chad is one of the poorest in the world. Over 80% of Chad's population relies on subsistence farming and livestock raising for its livelihood. Last year, the government committed itself to spending 70% of its budget on development needs such as increase in access to healthcare delivery and education. However none of this materialized. The Chadian government is widely seen by many Chadians as corrupt and has not been selfless as promised to alter the present rate of poverty. Unfortunately, the recent crisis has left a deluge of refugees with 20,000 in Cameroon, 3,500 in Nigeria with severe humanitarian consequences. The discovery of oil has not altered positively the lives of the people. Oil proceeds have been grossly mismanaged and promises have not been fulfilled. http://en.afrik.com/article12595.html Thu, 14 Feb 2008 18:52:45 +0100 Only a river separates N'djamena from Kousseri, Cameroon, where thousands fled last week's violence.
