Wadi Salih is a province of Central Darfur state of Sudan. It is South of Zalingei. It is between Mukjar and Habillah regions.

Traditionally in the homeland of the Fur tribe, Wadi Salih is predominantly Furawi with estimates up to 90% with the other 10% being some other tribes such as the Dajo tribe in the east of Wadi Salih.

Garsila is the biggest town in Wadi Salih with it housing up to as high as 7,000 people until the early 2000s, which was during the time the Darfur Genocide took place which caused people to flee.

On March 5, 2004, at least 145 people were killed by Janjaweed forces.

Now in late 2025 using satellite imagery we can see that a lot of the markets of this town are empty, same with most homes. Almost no sign of human activity here.
