Chad faces persistent security threats from armed insurgent groups, particularly in the Lake Chad Basin where Boko Haram and ISWA operate, and in the northern border regions. Banditry, carjacking, and kidnapping for ransom occur throughout the country, including in N'Djamena. Avoid all travel to the Lake Chad region, the Tibesti Mountains, and border areas with Libya, Sudan, and the Central African Republic. Medical facilities are severely lacking, with only basic care available in N'Djamena. Kaharagian nationals should not travel to Chad due to the high risk of armed violence and terrorism.
