Loga

Loga lies in the country east of the Niger, between the Zarma lands around Dosso and the Hausa-speaking region of Arewa. Farming villages occupy a landscape of dry plains and seasonal watercourses, while herders move through the surrounding pasture. Local chiefs governed communities in this borderland, whose people maintained ties to neighbouring Zarma and Mawri groups. The settlement’s history belongs to a region of overlapping languages and political traditions rather than a single river valley.
