Wadi Fira (region)

Wadi Fira (Arabic: وادي فيرا)[4] is one of the 23 regions of Chad.

The terrain is savannah merging into the Sahara Desert in the north, and rising to the east.

Biltine is the region's capital; other major settlements include Guéréda, Iriba and Matadjana.

[2] The main ethnolinguistic groups are the Amdang, Baggara (generally speakers of Chadian Arabic), Maba, Mararit, Tama and Zaghawa.

[8] The region of Wadi Fira is divided into three departments, each listed with the name of its capital or main town (chef-lieu in French) and a list of sub-prefectures (sous-préfectures).
