Meiganga

Meiganga lies in the Adamawa country of the Gbaya, whose communities extend across the savannas eastward. In the nineteenth century, Gbaya groups moved west towards the region while Fulbe and Mbum forces from Ngaoundéré raided Gbaya communities for captives. Those taken were carried west into the slave trade of the Sokoto empire, linking the fate of distant villages to the expansion of the emirates.
