• A general view of the top of a cave at the Garoa Hallagana rock art site, in Ennedi Ouest province, Chad, on July 10, 2025. A five-day scientific mission, conducted at the end of July, thirty kilometers from Fada, brought together Chadian archaeologists and geologists from the universities of N'Djamena and Abeche. The objective: to lay "the first milestone" in the chronological markers of the ancient occupation of the Ennedi region, the researcher asserts. The Ennedi Natural and Cultural Reserve (RNCE), created in 2018 in this Chadian province, at the crossroads with Libya and Sudan, is home to a rich archaeological heritage. Across a sanctuary spanning more than 50,000 square kilometers, tens of thousands of rock engravings and paintings adorn the rock faces. Following the inscription of the RNCE on the World Heritage List in 2016, the Chadian government entrusted its co-management to the South African NGO African Parks for fifteen years.

One in nine do not have enough to eat

Created in 1961, the World Food Programme is pledged to fight hunger worldwide as well as providing emergency food assistance in a crisis.

One of the organisation’s goals is the Zero Hunger Pledge, adopted by the international community in 2015 as one of the 17 Sustainable Goals for Sustainable Development, to end world hunger by 2030.

The WFP, a branch of the United Nations, is funded by voluntary donations from governments, businesses and private donations.

Almost two thirds of its operations currently take place in conflict zones, where it is calculated that people are more than three times likely to suffer from malnutrition than in peaceful countries.

It is currently estimated that one in nine people globally do not have enough to eat.

On any one day, the WFP estimates that it has 5,000 lorries, 20 ships and 70 aircraft on the move.

Outside emergencies, the WFP provides school meals to up to 25 million children in 63 countries, while working with communities to improve nutrition. Where possible, it buys supplies from developing countries to cut down transport cost and boost local economies.

Know your Camel lingo

The bairaq is a competition for the best herd of 50 camels, named for the banner its winner takes home

Namoos - a word of congratulations reserved for falconry competitions, camel races and camel pageants. It best translates as 'the pride of victory' - and for competitors, it is priceless

Asayel camels - sleek, short-haired hound-like racers

Majahim - chocolate-brown camels that can grow to weigh two tonnes. They were only valued for milk until camel pageantry took off in the 1990s

Millions Street - the thoroughfare where camels are led and where white 4x4s throng throughout the festival
