Administration

The Chari-Baguirmi region is divided into three departments:

Baguirmi (capital of Massenya), Chari (capital of Mandélia) and Loug Chari (capital of Bousso). Chad became independent in 1961 from the French Colonial Empire. On account of ensuing political instability and local civil wars, it continued as a one party democary till 1991, while other parties were also allowed. All the powers rested centrally with the President.[4] As a part of decentralization in February 2003, the country is administratively split into regions, departments, municipalities and rural communities. The prefectures which were originally 14 in number were re-designated in 17 regions. The regions are administered by Governors appointed by the President. The Prefects, who originally held the responsibility of the 14 prefects, still retained the titles and were responsible for the administration of smaller departments in each region. The members of local assemblies are elected every six years, while the executive organs are elected every three years.[5] As of 2016, there are totally 23 regions in Chad, which are divided based on population and administrative convenience.[6]
