Fada (Template:Langx) is the capital of the Ennedi-Ouest Region of Chad, which was created in 2012 from the western half of the Ennedi Region.[1]
Lying in the Ennedi Plateau, it has a population of 23,786 (as of December 2005). It is known for the surrounding cave paintings and rock formations, while the Guelta d'Archei and a wood growing in a wadi are local attractions.
During the Toyota War phase of the Chadian–Libyan War in 1987, the town saw fighting during the Battle of Fada.[2][3]
The town is served by Fada Airport.
History
Rock paintings and archaeological artifacts at nearby Guelta d'Archei, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, show evidence that humans occupied the area around 10,000 BCE during the African humid period.
Idriss Déby, a former military officer and president of Chad, was born in the village of Berdoba, about 190 kilometres from Fada. As a student, he attended the École-Francaise in studying the French language.
On 2 January 1987, during the Toyota War, Fada was the scene of a battle fought between Chad and the armed forces of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya and the Democratic Revolutionary Council. The battle was marked as a turning point of the Chadian-Libyan conflict.
