Remarks:

Robert Thomson: Bird observed through telescope at a distance on a desert pan/lake. Appeared slightly larger than adjacent Common Ringed Plovers. Clear dark shoulder patches/side of breast with overall white frontal appearance. Bill short and dark and legs dark. Conclusions: Sanderling. I did not think much of this bird at the time because its quite common to see the species inland in southern Africa on migration. [WABDaB Admin: description is good, species found in Chad before, observation in the Ennedi not unexpected.]
