'Bardaï' is a small town and
oasis in the extreme north of
Chad, the main town of the
Tibesti area, one of the four departments of the
Bourkou-Ennedi-Tibesti region.
Bardaï came to international attention in
1974, when a rebel group, led by
Hissène Habré, attacked the town and captured a
French archeologist,
Françoise Claustre and two other
European citizens.
