Bokoro

Bokoro lies in the dry grasslands east of the Chari, between the lands of Baguirmi and the basin of Lake Fitri. The Bilala, associated with Fitri, once ruled Kanem after challenging the rulers of Kanem-Bornu in the fourteenth century. Across the wider Chad basin, farmers, herders, and fishers developed distinct ways of living with the changing waters and seasons.
