I thimk that it's realy cool that people are still interested in this kind of stuff. It is majorly important to keep the memory of the past near so history does not repeat itself. I am doing a project on Chad, Africa for a social studies assignment, & I cannot seem to find any interesting information or facts. Could you help me with that, by giving me a few examples? Thank-you so much for your time!
