Doubaré

Doubaré lies in the northern Mossi country of Yatenga, where the cultivated plateau approaches the drier Sahel. The name appears in traditions celebrating Naaba Rawa, associated with the early kingdom of Zondoma and the origins of Yatenga. Over time Yatenga became a major power among the Mossi kingdoms, with a royal court and subordinate chiefs governing communities across the region. Its northern lands brought Mossi villages into contact with peoples of the Sahel.
