What is the relative size of the expatriate community? How would you describe overall morale among expatriates?

The expat community is friendly and morale is good. - Feb 2023


Not huge, mostly French. - Aug 2020


Small but fairly high morale. It's a hardship/danger post but most people here knew that when they chose to come and have adjusted their expectations accordingly. The most unhappy people are those who came here for the money (currently 30% hardship and 15% danger pay for Embassy Americans) and yet expect to be able to live and work as if they are in Washington D.C. - Apr 2014


Small and getting smaller now that many organizations have declared Chad to be an unaccompanied post. Right now it's almost non-existent with the current rebel fighting. - Nov 2006
