: Imagine FACT splitting into two different groups, another one being called Front pour le Changement et la Concorde, you'll have a problem then

Spliting into 2 groups is hypothetical as this point; and FACT is certainly nice&tidy acronym in English, but means nothing in French.

'Tchad is a republic found in Central Africa. It's divided into three large geographical regions. It became an independently autonomous country in 1960, and since then privileged relationships have been maintained between France and Tchad. More recently, constitutional reform took place in Tchad in 2017.'
Example sentence:
'Le Tchad est une république d'Afrique centrale. Il est divisé en trois grands ensembles géographiques.
Il est devenu un pays indépendant avec son autonomie en 1960, et dès lors il conserve des relations privilégiées avec France. Récemment, il y a eu lieu une réforme constitutionnelle au Tchad en 2017.'
