Chad has suffered from instability and violence since its independence in 1960, including periodic internal armed uprisings against the incumbent president since 1998 and cross-border conflict with Sudanese government forces and pro-Sudanese armed groups linked to the Darfur conflict from 2004, until a rapprochement between Sudan and Chad was reached in 2010.

Chad is host to hundreds of thousands of refugees: in 2011 there remained 288,000 Sudanese refugees in eastern Chad and 75,000 refugees from Central African Republic in the south-east. Chad also has 131,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) and 50,000 recently returned IDPs (UN consolidated appeal 2012).

Despite improvements in security, in 2011 Chad’s humanitarian outlook remained bleak, exacerbated by an influx of 83,244 returning migrant workers fleeing conflict in Libya, a cholera outbreak affecting 15,000 people and a growing food crisis that affected 1.6 million Chadians.
