Mané

Mané was the seat of a Mossi principality between the larger kingdoms of Wogodogo and Yatenga. Its ruler belonged to a lineage known as dimbi, descended from a sovereign. Traditions relate that a son of Naaba Koumdoumié established the dynasty at Mané, one of several regional commands created around the central Mossi kingdom. The principality’s position placed it among neighbouring courts and farming communities whose relationships combined kinship, rivalry and political allegiance.

The later city of Kaya lies here.
