São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
Sarh is the capital of the Moyen-Chari Province of the Republic of Chad, located in the south of the country. It is the second largest city in Chad and an important economic and transportation center. Located near the Logone River, the city enjoys a relatively mild savannah climate with abundant annual rainfall. Saarland was once the administrative center of the French colonial period and still retains its colonial architecture. As the heart of the agricultural region, the area around Sars is dominated by cotton cultivation and peanut production, and is an important distribution center for Chad's agricultural products. The city also has an airstrip connecting the capital, N'Djamena, with other major cities, and is a commercial and logistical hub for the southern region, with a population of about 150,000 people and a multicultural mix that offers a unique vision of southern Chad.
