October 2008 (N'DJAMENA): Wakith Tamma goes back on the stands!

The Editor in Chief received a laptop to restart production of Wakith Tamma. Production was halted after the February 2008 rebel attacks on N'Djamena which forced most activists into exile. 

The October edition profiled the biography of Mohandas Gandhi the father of non-violent movements and discusses the disturbing trend of violence in the school system.

April 2007 (N'DJAMENA): "Wakith Tamma" ("It is Time" in Arabic)

CFK's youth-led newspaper engages young people in the development of their country. CFK started sowing seeds of peace in the hearts of a generation whose future has been traded off for C-130s.

A team of 4 young people decided to say NO to the VIOLENCE decimating their country. Instead of weapons, they chose to use their head and create a Newspaper that addresses the problems that plague today’s youths in Chad and engages young people in the development of their country.

March 2007: Diaspora Remittances

CFK helps Chadians living in the US and in France invest in several capacity building projects by donating electronic equipment to young entrepreneurs.

The impact of migration on homeland development should not be underestimated. While migrations are typically seen as a loss to the country of origin, many are trying to turn this “Brain Drain” into “Brain Gain” by capitalizing on the gains made by members of the Diaspora while abroad. The investment that migrants make in their homeland often reaches beyond the usual family remittances. In the case of Chad, a nation riddled with conflict, where 80% of the population lives below the poverty line and the literacy rate is under 30%, this type of homegrown care is long over due.

The Chadian Ministry of External Relations has started to reverse the negative effect of migration and has implemented several measures to attract Diaspora investment in their homeland through import incentives and tax breaks. When Chadians come together great things can happen and not one but all stand to benefit.
