Embassy of the United States, N'Djamena

The Embassy of the United States in N'Djamena is the diplomatic mission of the United States of America in Chad.

History

On August 11, 1960. The United States recognized the Republic of Chad when it gained its independence from French Equatorial Africa. Diplomatic relations were also established that day, with Alan W. Lukens, the American Consul at Brazzaville, presenting his credentials as Chargé d'Affaires.

The U.S. embassy was established in Fort Lamy, now known as N'Djamena, on February 1, 1961, with Frederic L. Chapin serving as Chargé d'Affaires ad interim. Due to heavy fighting in the city, the embassy was closed on March 24, 1980, and American diplomatic personnel were evacuated. It was later reopened on January 15, 1982, with John Blane as the Principal Officer and Chargé d'Affaires ad interim. In April 2021, the embassy reduced its staff due to rebel forces approaching the capital. The newly elected Chadian president Idriss Déby died that month during the fighting.
