A Chadian farmer carries a basket filled with harvested cotton to be sold sold to the semi-private company CotonTchad in Kagtaou village, some sixty kilometres away from Moundou, on April 26, 2024. In southern Chad, cotton farmers are hit hard by climate change and the conflict between herders and farmers, some of whom feel "abandoned" by the N'Djamena government and are now pinning their hopes on opposition leader and presidential candidate Succes Masra in the Chadian presidential election on May 6, 2024.
