Live off the land and die for it

live off the land
and die for it

Understanding and acting against violence
between herders and farmers in Chad

A crisis ignored for too long

In Chad, families are grieving, villages are burned, and thousands of people are living in fear.

Clashes between herders and farmers continue to increase, fuelled by the effects of climate change, pressure on natural resources, and the proliferation of weapons.

Our new report reveals serious facts: people killed, homes destroyed, abandoned populations and authorities failing in their duty to protect as well as a lack of justice for the victims

The government of Chad must act now.

And you can contribute to the change.

New report: “Live off the land and die for it”

Based on two years of investigation, three field missions and more than a hundred interviews with survivors, witnesses and key actors, this report shows how impunity and inaction by the authorities fuel a cycle of reprisals.

You will find in it:

  • an in-depth analysis of the causes of the conflict;
  • stories of inhabitants who have lost everything;
  • the direct consequences of the State’s inaction;
  • Clear recommendations to protect communities.

An illustrated campaign: understanding the crisis through 2D animation

To make visible the realities experienced by the affected communities, we produced a three-minute 2D animation.

This video recounts, in an accessible and human way, the experiences of affected families: burned villages, improvised exoduses, loss of crops, lack of support.

The 2D illustrations from this video give a symbolic face to the victims, while respecting their dignity and safety.

Act now

Between 2022 and 2024, the provinces of Moyen-Chari, Mandoul, Logone Oriental and Logone Occidental were hit by violent attacks between farmers and herders. In the cases documented by Amnesty International alone, nearly 100 people have been killed, families have been forced to flee and more than 600 homes have been burned.

Tensions are exacerbated by the scarcity of arable land and water points, climate degradation, and the uncontrolled flow of weapons.

But what makes this crisis so deadly is the inaction of the state.

In several documented cases, the security forces arrived too late. In others, they have not acted at all, leaving people unprotected during attacks.

Help us

Your voice can help obtain the effective protection of civilians, independent investigations into attacks, the prosecution of those responsible, as well as reparations for victims.

Your signature counts.

Your solidarity protects lives.

Share the campaign

Spread this page to share the video and the report as well as relay the petition. The more of us there are, the greater the pressure will be.

Together, let make the voices of those who want to live off the land but not die for it heard.
