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.

Sub-prefectures

The department of Borkou is divided into two sub-prefectures:[2]

  • Faya-Largeau
  • Kouba Olanga

gollark: I mean, those apply to some narrowly defined things in physics, for limited definitions of "action" and such, but not in general so far as I can tell.
gollark: I don't think so, unless you really stretch the definition most of the time or claim it's metaphorical or something.
gollark: Like "colourless green ideas sleep furiously" and such.
