Seems like travelling west is easier than east. Visa difficult in Chad but easier (I beleive) in Addis. That doesn't help you much I suppose. I think the problem is not so much terror in the US but bandits in the est of Chad that is making the officials nervous. I have heard of people being sent back from the Chad border (with Sudan) despite having visas. Heather Maxwell and co got through (see forum) with no trouble. Going west mind you.
We are going to try to get Sudan Visas in Addis. Maybe we'll see you on the road. (We are also from SA).
