... Another new African "gem" to add to my collection👍... not a country where you have the chance to get mail from very often... slowly but steady my list of missing African countries is getting shorter ʘ͜͡ʘ.... situated in the center of the continent... Chad is estimated to be one of the areas for where the human species originated... but a combination of high poverty, frequent conflicts, and the risk of both droughts and floods means this central African is very vulnerable to climate change... Thanks a lot Zhang!!ヽ(ヅ)ノ
