NEW MAP: Sub-Saharan Africa 1901: Lake Chad Rendezvous (23 Aug 1901) https://omniatlas.com/maps/safrica/19010823/ In 1899 the Nubian warlord Rabih az-Zubayr had antagonized the French by hanging one of their explorers. After Rabih destroyed their punitive expedition, the French sent three columns—one from each of their main African bases (Congo, Algeria, and Senegal)—against his empire around Lake Chad. This time the French were successful: linking up their African empire, killing Rabih, and chasing his son, Fadl-Allah, across the German-claimed north of Kamerun into British-claimed Northern Nigeria. #safrica #history #welovemaps #map #1900s #1901 #africa #africanhistory #august #august23 #cameroon #chad #france #northernnigeria #frenchempire #colonialism #lakechad #rabih #somalia #southafrica #subsaharanafrica #boerwar #britishempire #germanempire #maps #war #imperialism #rabah #borno #bornu #sokoto #colonialism (at N'Djamena, Chad)

Nigeria Govt To Resume Oil Exploration In Lake Chad Basin. ...... #lakechad #lakechadbasin #oilandgas #oilexploration #nnpc #edesonbusinessnews #crudeoil #petroleumengineering #businessnews The oil exploration in the area was suspended by the Nigerian Government in July 2017 after suspected members of Boko Haram sect attacked a team of geological engineers from the University of Maiduguri who were engaged by Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) to carry out a survey of the Lake Chad region in Borno State towards the commencement of oil exploration. The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Mr. Timipre Sylva, while addressing journalists after a closed-door meeting in Maiduguri with the military and chief executive officers in the oil sector, said the area is now peaceful enough to commence the oil exploration. Sylvia said the relative peace in Borno State and the Lake Chad basin informed the decision to move in for exploration and drilling activities in the oil rich region.
