Salal is a town in Chad, lying 380 kilometres (240 mi) north of N'Djamena on the road to Faya-Largeau. Salal is the second largest city after Moussoro in Bahr el Gazel Region. A garrison was once at Salal during the conflict with Libya in 1978.[1] On 15 April 1978, FROLINAT forces, led by Goukouni Oueddei, took Salal before marching south to the Chadian capital, N'Djamena.[2]
