186 Chad
Three equal vertical bands of blue (hoist side), gold, and red. The flag combines the blue and red French (former colonial) colors with the red and yellow (gold) of the Pan-African colors. Blue symbolizes the sky, hope, and the south of the country, which is relatively well-watered. Gold represents the sun, as well as the desert in the north of the country. Red stands for progress, unity, and sacrifice.

According to Britannica, under the constitution of 2018, Chad is a republic. The executive branch of the government is represented by the president, who serves as the head of state and government. The president is elected by universal suffrage to a six-year term, limited to two terms. A previous restriction that allowed the president to serve only two five-year terms was abolished in 2005, when a 2004 constitutional amendment that removed term limits was approved via national referendum; another change, made in the 2018 constitution, increased the president’s term to six years and, going forward, restored the two-term limit. The legislative branch is served by the National Assembly, comprising members who are directly elected to four-year terms; under the terms of the 2018 constitution, terms will be changed to five years with the next election. For administrative purposes, Chad is divided into regions.
After the unexpected death of Pres. Idriss Déby Itno in April 2020, the military dissolved the government and National Assembly and established a military council, the National Council of Transition, to govern for an 18-month period.
Chad’s judicial system comprises the Supreme Court and criminal and magistrate courts. A Constitutional Council and a High Court of Justice, the latter made up of National Assembly members elected by their peers to handle any cases of treason involving members of the government, were abolished under the 2018 constitution.
The CAA is the official website that enables aviation companies to apply for all type of permits related to the Airspace and Airports in Chad.
