"I am in Chad and my children grew up in N'Djamena. We run our business without any difficulty. I employ almost 30 chadians without any trouble. With the government I do not have a problem. When government employees come and stay in the hotel, they always pay their invoice. "
-Dr. LiTao, N'Djamena Hotel owner
"I was born in N’Djamena, and I grew up here. I spent all my childhood in this capital, despite years of war. All of us, we are still there. I love my country and my city. We live quietly, and despite the hardship we fight back and are getting along. Most of the population in N’Djamena lives under poverty level (suffers from hardship, disease, insecurity, etc.). We lack many products/medication for health, and lots of sick people cannot get treatment and medication that would cure them, and they die. Now, with the production of oil, we hope that there will be some change in the future.
"When a European owns an enterprise in N’Djamena, it is good. However, the Westerners do not want to invest in this country because there is so much insecurity."
-Souleyman Aberahim, N'Djamena Resident
