10 Interesting facts about Chad. The Republic of Chad is a landlocked African country. Libya to the north, Sudan to the east, the Central African Republic to the south, Cameroon to the southwest, Nigeria to the southwest, and Niger to the west form the country's borders. The population of the country is 17.2 million people.

Chadian cuisine refers to the food and meals associated with the Republic of Chad, which includes cooking traditions, practices, foods, and dishes. Chadians consume a medium variety of grains, vegetables, fruits, and meats. Grains such as millet, sorghum, and rice are often consumed as staple foods. Chad is in central northern Africa, 7 to 23 degrees north of the equator, bordering the Sahel subtropical climate region. Chad's northern region goes all the way to the arid Sahara Desert, whereas the country's southern region enjoys a considerably wetter and more typical tropical climate.
Chad is primarily a desert country, but it is rich in gold and uranium. Recently, it has earned oil-producing status, which bodes well for the country's future. It became an oil-producing nation for the first time in 2003, when a $4 billion pipeline connecting its oilfields to terminals on the Atlantic coast was built. The country is named after Lake Chad, which is Chad’s largest wetland. The governments of Chad, Nigeria, Cameroon, and Niger all rely heavily on the lake. It has shrunk by 95 percent on average since the 1960s, even though its size changes according to the season.

Gerewol of the Wodaabe in Chad, the ceremony of the most beautiful people in the world.
In Southern Sahara region, there are one of the Africa's most enigmatic and interesting people: the Wodaabe or Bororo (Mbororo)
In September, end of the rainy season, every year in the surroundings of Dourbali, about 120 kilometers from the capital of Chad, two large Wodaabe family clans (the Soudousoukai and the Japto) come together for an impressive beauty contest known as Gerewol Festival.

The Gerewol dance
The Gerewol consists on a ceremony where men dance and compete to be the most beautiful. Women are the judges and can choose their future husband.
For these dances, men prepare themselves with their best clothes and accessories, painting their faces red (Gerewol) or yellow (Yaake) and highlighting the eyes and lips of black makeup, which makes the white of their teeth and eyes bright even more.
During the dance men are arranged aligned, being the youngest those who are placed in the extremes. The dances and the songs are hypnotic and are repeated for hours and hours.

Imagine a place where the ancient traditions of Africa come to life, where vibrant colors, captivating dances, and soulful music converge in a celebration like no other. That place is the Gerewol Festival in Chad. Nestled in the Sahel region of Central Africa, Chad is a land of raw and unfiltered beauty, and the Gerewol Festival is one of its hidden gems.

The Gerewol Festival: A Cultural Marvel

🌟 The Gerewol Festival, also known as the "Wodaabe Beauty Pageant," is a remarkable cultural festival celebrated by the Wodaabe people, a subgroup of the Fulani ethnic group in Chad. This enchanting event is an annual gathering where the Wodaabe men adorn themselves in their most extravagant attire, engage in lively dances, and showcase their singing talents.

👑 Central to the festival is a unique beauty contest. Unlike typical pageants, where women compete, at Gerewol, it's the men who vie for the attention of potential partners. They showcase their beauty through elaborately painted faces, intricate beadwork, and charming smiles.

📅 The festival typically takes place at the end of the rainy season, usually between September and October. It's a time when the Wodaabe nomads come together to celebrate and find love.

A Visual Feast of Color and Dance

🌈 One of the most captivating aspects of the Gerewol Festival is the extraordinary beauty transformations. The men apply vibrant colors to their faces and bodies, often using natural pigments found in the region. This mesmerizing body painting is a true work of art, symbolizing the cultural richness of the Wodaabe people.

💃 The traditional dance performances are a sight to behold. Men adorned in shimmering garments perform intricate dances to attract potential mates. These dances are a blend of grace, energy, and symbolism, expressing their readiness for marriage.

Music That Moves the Soul

🎵 Music is at the heart of the Gerewol Festival. Wodaabe men showcase their vocal talents, singing songs that convey their emotions, desires, and dreams. The melodic tunes, accompanied by rhythmic clapping, create an atmosphere of celebration and connection.

🥁 Traditional instruments like drums and flutes add a unique dimension to the festival's music. The hypnotic rhythms resonate with the soul, and you can't help but be drawn into the enchanting melodies.

Cultural Significance

The Gerewol Festival is not just a spectacle for tourists; it's deeply rooted in Wodaabe culture. It serves as a way for young Wodaabe people to meet and court potential partners, often leading to arranged marriages within their community. Beyond romance, the festival strengthens social bonds, reinforces cultural identity, and preserves centuries-old traditions.

Visiting the Gerewol Festival

For travelers seeking an authentic cultural experience, attending the Gerewol Festival in Chad is an opportunity like no other. The festival usually takes place in the Guéra region, and while it's not as accessible as some tourist destinations, the effort is rewarded with an immersion in a world of cultural richness.

🏕️ Visitors often camp near the festival grounds, allowing them to fully participate in the festivities. The experience is a unique blend of tradition and modernity, with the chance to interact with the Wodaabe people and learn about their way of life.

The Cotton Tree is a historic symbol of Freetown, the capital city of Sierra Leone. According to legend, the "Cotton Tree" gained importance in 1792 when a group of former African American slaves, who had gained their freedom by fighting for the British during the American War of Independence, settled the site of modern Freetown. Its exact age is unknown, but it is known to have existed in 1787.
There are probably hundreds of famous living trees in the world. They are mostly known because of their location, age, size, and unusual appearance, connections with some historical events, or strange uses by humans.
