Ennedi Est Region (Arabic: إنيدي الشرقية) is one of the twenty-three regions of Chad. The capital of the region is Am-Djarass. The region's current governor is General Hassan Djorobo.[1]
It was established in 2012 from part of the former Ennedi Region.[2] It appears to cover the same territory as the former Ennedi Est Department.[3]
The region borders Libya to the north, Sudan to the east, Wadi Fira Region to the south, and Ennedi-Ouest Region to the west. The region is geographically part of the Sahara Desert.
The region's northern border lies within the Aouzou Strip, historically a point of dispute between Chad and Libya.[4]
Am-Djarass is the regional capital; other major settlements include Bahaï, Bao Billiat, Kaoura and Mourdi.[5]
The main ethnolinguistic groups are the Dazaga Toubou and the Zaghawa.[6]
Ennedi Est Region is divided into two departments:
| Department | Capital | Communes | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Am-Djarass | Am-Djarass, Bao, Djouna, Kaoura | ||
| Wadi-Hawar | Wadi-Hawar | Bahaï, Birdouani |
