The past few days in N’Djamena, Chad have been the worst days of my entire life and I’ve had a miserable time here. Never in my life have I been more scared, threatened or attacked (both verbally and physically) than in this hot, dusty, beaten-down deserted city. I was in a disastrous police chase on a motorbike and I also was attacked by a dozen people for taking 1 photo inside a mini bus. I apologize for the lack of posting lately – I’ve had no access to wifi until now and I’m still shaken up by what has happened to me.
If it wasn’t for my 6’6” local friend (AKA Bodyguard), then I’m not sure I’d be alive right now. This is not a joke, this is serious.
The lesson learned has been learned on my end to always ask before taking a photo of anyone, but it was uncalled for these people to attack me like they did. I will end this post by saying that I do not hate Chad (as a whole) and I realize that unlucky situations can make or break your experience in any country. But it’s safe to say that I will not be coming back to Chad anytime soon.
