Chad

The country of Chad and neighboring Sudan just signed a reconcilliation agreement pledging to cooperate with the United Nations to help stabilize Sudan's Darfur region and neighboring areas of Chad.

I'm sorry, but every time I see the country of Chad in print, I immediately think of some guy named Chad that everyone went to high school with. Ol' Chad has become pretty important in the world lately. Last I remember, Chad worked at his dad's auto repair shop and was flunking English.

Darfur is obviously a very serious subject, but I just love that the warring militia is called Janjaweed. Also, the president of Chad is named Idriss Deby.

Didn't Chad and Deby go to the prom together?
