Séguédine

Séguédine is an oasis at the northern end of the Kawar country, where settlements follow an escarpment through the central Sahara. Salt production and the route between the Lake Chad basin and Fezzan gave these oases an importance far beyond their palm groves. Séguédine was among the older centres of salt production; its local Kanuri chief bore the title Mai Gari, even after Tebu groups became prominent elsewhere in Kawar.
