history

Areas controlled by Libya and allies during the Chad Civil War

The city, which was originally called Faya , was renamed Largeau after the conquest of Borkou by Étienne Largeau in 1913 . It got its old name back in the 1970s. In the 1970s, a development project promoted date production in Faya-Largeau. The city is connected to other cities through Faya-Largeau Airport and has a small power station.

When the Aouzou Strip was captured in 1975, Libya took Faya-Largeau. 1980 Hissène Habré gained control of the city, 1981-1982 Goukouni Oueddei . In 1983 it fell again to Libya, until it withdrew in 1987.
