12 May 2009 (AFP-Ndjamena) Chad's President, Idriss Deby Itno, has announced that tomorrow, Wednesday, May 13, 2009, would be a national public holiday to celebrate the government's recent victory over what it calls "the columns of mercenaries paid by the Khartoum regime". • 25 Feb 2007 (Reuters) Chad's President Idriss Deby declared seven days of national mourning late on Friday after the central African country's prime minister died from a brain haemorrhage in a Paris hospital. • More News Updates For the full version of the summarized news items above, and older news items not displayed above, go to the Chad public holidays news and updates page, or worldwide public holidays news and updates page, or subscribe to one of our free email newsletters.

Chad International Codes TD and TCD (2 and 3-letter ISO3166 codes) and .td (ICANN national top-level internet domain). • Other Sources of Information The following specialized websites are also a good source of Chad information and news: Bank of Central African States (Chad central bank), ASI Hot Spots (security-related world events: terrorist threats, political strife, strikes, criminal activity, aviation incidents and health outbreaks), CIA World Factbook (Chad maps, demographics and economic statistics), the IFES (information covering upcoming elections, referenda, electoral structures and voter participation in Chad), and Wikipedia (includes Chad commemorative dates that are not necessarily public holidays).

Observance : Any entry in the Observance column indicates that, in Chad, the holiday may be regional or non-official or limited to certain religious and/or linguistic groups, or begin at a time other than midnight. Note that religious holidays are included only if they are national public holidays, or if the national labour code has specific holiday allowances for employees of specific religions. For more information, see our pages on the religious calendars of the world.

Religious Holidays : Public holidays in Chad that are based on certain religious calendars may be subject to local variations due to differing interpretations between different religious authorities, or to seemingly arbitrary changes in the date a holiday is celebrated because it conflicts with another holiday that is based on another calendar, or because the day of the holiday is deemed inauspicious (bad luck). To find out more about these uncertainties, see the footnote below, if any, for each specific religion.

Muslim Holidays : Muslim bank holidays, legal holidays and public holidays for Chad were evaluated using the Umm al-Qura Calendar of Saudi Arabia which is used in Saudi Arabia and in most of the Persian Gulf States. Holidays may occur a day later in countries outside the Gulf region. The sunrises, sunsets, moon phases, moonrises and moonsets used in these calculations are based on the location of Mecca (latitude 21.42°N, longitude, 39.82°E, GMT+3 hours, no summer time rules). For more details on Muslim holidays, see Muslim Calendar Holidays. For Salat (prayer times) calculations, see our Freeware page.
