Doba

Doba lies in the southern Chadian country of the Sara-speaking peoples, among communities known as Daba, Mbay, and Goulaye. Their related languages and customs link them to neighbours across the Logone and Chari regions, while descent through the father’s line binds families to particular communities. Initiation ceremonies formed another bond among those who underwent them, joining generations of young men in a shared passage to adulthood.

The later city of Koumra also lies here.
