Sarh (), formerly known as Fort Archambault (), is the capital of the Moyen-Chari Region and the capital of the Department of Barh Köh in Chad.
==History== The city was founded as Fort Archambauld by the colonial authorities of French Chad, then part of French Equatorial Africa, for returnees from the labour camps associated with the construction of the Congo-Ocean Railway. A significantly large textiles complex was constructed by the French in Fort Archambauld in 1967.
