Goz Beïda
Place in Sila, Chad
Goz Beïda (Arabic: قوز بيدا) is the capital of the Sila (or Dar Sila) region of Chad, as well as the main town (chef-lieu) of the Kimiti department. Prior to 2008, Goz Beïda was part of the Ouaddaï Region's former Sila Department.[1]
Goz Beïda is 70 kilometres (43 mi) from Chad's border with Sudan's western Darfur Region.[2] The town has been seriously affected by the conflict in Darfur, which has spilled over into the surrounding area and resulted in large numbers of refugees living in the town.[3]
The town is served by Goz Beïda Airport.
