FCDO Advises Against All Travel to Parts of Chad – Protests & Ongoing Insecurity (April 2026)
The UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) maintains 'against all travel' advisories for northern provinces of Chad (Borkou, Ennedi Ouest, Ennedi Est, Tibesti), western Kanem Province including Nokou, the Lake Chad region, and within 30km of all other Chad borders. The rest of Chad, including the capital N'Djamena, is subject to 'against all but essential travel' advice. The advisory was updated on 28 April 2026 to include new information on planned protests in N'Djamena scheduled for 2 May 2026, with a heightened security presence and likely travel disruptions expected. UK government support is severely limited, with assistance provided remotely from British High Commission Yaoundé.

Impact verdict
Medium impact. Chad faces widespread insecurity across multiple provinces and border zones, with limited UK government support capacity and active protest risk in the capital. The advisory covers broad geographic areas but primarily affects travel and business operations rather than large-scale insured infrastructure.
