Zondoma

Zondoma is an old Mossi kingdom in the northwestern Moogo, the country of the Mossi peoples. Oral traditions associate its foundation with Naaba Rawa, an ancestor celebrated by the musicians of Yatenga. Zondoma was one of several early ruling centres that emerged in the region before the kingdom of Yatenga grew into the dominant northern power. Its chiefs governed farming communities among the dry plains and seasonal streams of the upper Volta country.
