Am Timan

Am Timan (Arabic: أم تيمان, ʾUmm Tīmān) is a city in Chad and is the capital of the region of Salamat.

The city has no university but there are schools and colleges, and a clinic, and hosts a large market day and holiday celebrations.

The city's sand airport was upgraded by the French Foreign Legion in 1971 to allow military air transports to supply the anti-rebel effort.

On 23 October 2006, the city was claimed to be captured by Union of Forces for Democracy, the main Chadian rebel group.
