Fete du Khabith

The khabith is the dust storm that turns the sky orange, fills every corner of every room with sand, and makes you question why humans chose to live in the Sahel. Every Chadian has stood in a doorway watching a wall of dust approach from the horizon. The khabith does not ask permission. It just arrives.
