I’m Jeffrey Johnson On August 11th 2014 we celebrate Independence Day Chad Chad, a country in central Africa, received its independence from France in 1960. As early as 9,000 years ago the area in what is now the northern part of Chad became a good place for human habitation. Having several different empires and cultures living in the area since that time till the 1920s when, during Frances colonizing time, secured control of the area. Happy Independence Day Chad!
