"However, prior to departmentalisation, the two eastern territories of the south were managed by the department of Oran." Given that Oran was in the northwest, this seems rather surprising; those territories wouldn't border the department. Is this an error for "western", or an historical anomaly? --Psmith (talk) 08:27, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
