N'Djamena, Chad – An electrical surge that occurred on the night of Saturday, November 1, 2025 in N'Djamena caused significant material damage to a Chadian economic operator , an executive of an umbrella organization of the private sector.

The incident, attributed to the SNE/TchadElect network, incinerated all of its electronic equipment, including computers and phones, jeopardizing months of hard work and a portfolio of projects crucial to the country.

A Disaster at the Heart of a National Ambition

The entrepreneur had just finalized the documentation for more than thirty nationwide projects , representing a colossal investment estimated at over 121.2 billion CFA francs . The objective behind these initiatives is to generate more than 500,000 direct jobs in Chad over the next five years.

All the technical and financial files for these projects, essential for the investment phase, were stored in the now charred devices, threatening the future of this strategic vision.

The challenge: The operator has embarked on a race against time to reconstruct all of its documents before November 5th. Its main motivation is to be able to participate, as planned, in the Dubai Forum , which will be held from November 10th to 11th, a vital platform for securing the necessary funding.

Network Security: A Series of Worrying Incidents

This dramatic event is unfortunately not an isolated case and comes in a context of very worrying electrical security in the Chadian capital.

A few days earlier, on October 31 , a short circuit in Atrone (7th district of N'Djamena) had caused a tragic fire, costing the lives of an entire family (the father, the mother and their two children).

These successive malfunctions highlight the vulnerability and unreliability of the electrical network managed by SNE/TchadElect, raising serious questions about the protection of property and especially the lives of citizens.

Resilience and National Challenge

Faced with the destruction of its crucial tools and files, the resilience of this business operator is truly admirable. Its determination to immediately replace its equipment and rebuild its operations in record time to meet the international deadline in Dubai is a strong signal of commitment to Chad's development.

The implications of this disaster now extend far beyond the entrepreneur's personal fate; they directly impact the creation of hundreds of thousands of jobs and the investment dynamics of the national economy. His tenacity in this already challenging business environment exemplifies the determination of the Chadian private sector .
