Borkou Department

Borkou (Arabic: بوركو‎) is one of two departments of the Borkou Region in Chad . It was established by Ordinance No. 002/PR/08 of 19 February 2008.[1] Its capital is Faya-Largeau.

Bourkou was formerly one of four departments in the Bourkou-Ennedi-Tibesti Region of Chad, in the northern Saharan territory of Borkou. In 2008 the Bourkou-Ennedi-Tibesti Region was split into three, and the former Bourkou department became a separate region under the same name.
