Batha Region, Administrative region in central Chad
The Batha region encompasses 88,800 square kilometers of savannah grassland that transitions into desert terrain in the northern sections of the territory.
Established as Batha Prefecture on February 13, 1960, the region underwent administrative restructuring in 2003 to become one of the 23 regions of Chad.
The population includes Arab Baggara groups representing 33.62 percent, alongside Bilala and Naba-Kuka communities who maintain their traditional practices and languages.
The regional capital Ati serves as the administrative center, coordinating services and governance for more than 527,000 residents across three departments.
The 2016 discovery of gold deposits in the region attracted numerous prospectors from Chad, Niger, and Sudan, leading to military-controlled access restrictions.
