The military police, for safety reasons, has forbidden boat fishing in the watercourses close to the camps, forcing the men to try to fish near the shore, with poor results most of the time. In Chad, fish is the main sustenance for people living along the waterways. Many men have invested their savings to buy a boat to become fishermen.
