Antoine Bangui-Rombaye (22 September 1933 – 28 January 2026) (92 years, 128 days) was apparently the oldest man ever born in Chad, and consequently, the oldest living man born in the country.
It's a country with little news about people over 90 years old, so it's likely that there are older people, but we don't have verifiable news.
Does anyone know of any older men, and about the oldest person in that country?
He passed away in France.

He is actually the second oldest man ever from Chad behind Abba Siddick (1924–2017).

You're just joking, right? A country of 20 million people (4 million 100+ years ago), even if it's one of the least-developed, should have had a handful of male semi-supercentenarians (105-109).

I think so too, but none have been found. If you find any, please post them here. African countries have many examples of false claims, but few confirmed cases.
