On 25 June 2021, oil workers employed by ExxonMobil on the Doba oilfield in Chad went on strike when the potential sale of the oilfield was announced. The workers were demanding that in the event the sale went through that they would still receive benefits and redundancy pay they were previously entitled to.
The stoppage continued for two weeks, and worker protests continued for some time. In September, Chad's government announced they would work to ensure the workers kept their jobs.
