Ennedi-Est, Desert administrative region in northeastern Chad
The Ennedi Est Region spreads across northeastern Chad, containing sandstone rock formations, plateaus, and desert landscapes that extend toward the borders of Libya and Sudan.
The region emerged in 2012 through the division of the former Ennedi Region into two separate administrative territories to enhance local governance and resource management.
The Zaghawa and Toubou peoples inhabit the region, maintaining their traditions through oral histories and practices adapted to the desert environment.
Access to Ennedi Est requires preparation due to limited infrastructure, with main routes connecting through the city of Amdjarass, the regional capital.
Natural water sources within the deep canyons sustain over 525 plant species and provide habitats for West African crocodiles in this Saharan environment.
