Quick Facts Country, Capital ...

The region is divided into six cercles: Achouratt, Al-Ourche, Araouane, Boudje-Béha, Foum-Alba and Taoudénit.[7] The capital will be located at Taoudénit,[7] although the government is currently based in Timbuktu owing to the lack of infrastructure in Taoudénit.[5]
