`  == Chad, etc == Now since you might miss this, to clarify the Chad issue that you keep going on about (now I get the context).  ::: The site is being hosted by a German IP, but the owner is Tchadian, mate. ``Mahamat Hassane Outmane`` Strange article, stranger yet you write about a subject requiring mastery of French and Arabic, but no matter. The article rather violently denies Tchad has recognised the Polisario republic. Regardless, that is the Prime Ministerial site for Tchad, so it would appear to be authoritative. Not that Tchad recognising or not means much.  . ::::Chadian He may even be Chadian, I don't know. All I know is that it isn't the government of Chad's site, or even registered under their top-level domain; it's just some .org site hosted out of the country; that's hardly credible to me. The subject does not require a mastery of French and Arabic, Collounsbury. -···M  ::::: Tchadian. I like to spell it that way kid. And it does indeed appear to be the Gov site, kid. Poor countries often have funky websites, because, well, they're fucking poor and don't have things all tied up like oh, Indiana. Of course fucking poor countries like Tchad. Actually knowing something about the region, knowing French and being able to read the site, and well, having a fucking clue, is often helpful. Now, because you know fuck all about what you're whanking on about, let me give you a little citation: http://ndjamena.usembassy.gov/ - If you look down your government's Embassy website, why surprise surprise you find they link to ... wait for, bit of a drumroll: http://www.presidencedutchad.org/ and http://www.primature-tchad.org/ as official sites. Now you can either hold that your US Embassy knows fuck all about the country it is located in or that as I state, poor countries often have funky little things about them, like being too fucking poor to have proper websites per Indiana standards. ( )  So, now I think you get me comment about actually knowing what one is talking about, French, Arabic, mastery, not lapping up agitprop, that sort of thing.   By Chad's a crappy little wasteland, so recog one way or the other really isn't that important, but your habit of uncritically parroting a certain POV without the slightest critical thought is rather tedious.
