## Emblem Bahr el-Gazel Province

image located by Valentin Poposki, 25 July 2026

Bahr el Gazel (sometimes also Barh el Gazel) is one of 23 provinces of Chad. It was created in 2008, from the former Department of Bahr el Gazel which was part of the Region of Kanem. That year, the regions were dissolved and newly created 23 provinces became first-level administrative divisions of the country. Its administrative center is Moussoro.

It seems that there is no flag for the province (or at least I didn't find any), but there are emblems for the province and for the provincial council.

## Departments

### Bahr el Gazel Nord

The Department of Bahr el Gazel Nord is one of five departments of the Province of Bahr el Gazel, Chad. There is one flag-look-a-like image that I don't know what is, which contains name of the department and of its sous-prefectures. There are also two emblems, but I think the second one is that of the council:

I'm pretty sure the flag-look-a-like image is a Facebook banner. The second image looks like it might be from a regional news company, but I can't be sure. I think the first image might be the supposed departmental logo as it is used for its government's page, if used at all physically.
