Tibesti, Bahr al-Ghazal and eastern Kanem
Traduction non disponible · Original (anglais) · français indisponible
The Tubu were a major population group connected with the political history of Kanem and the Sefuwa dynasty. The Dïwân associates them with Sefuwa royal marriages, while external evidence places Tubu groups near Bahr al-Ghazal and east of Kanem. The extract distinguishes Daza or Gorhan groups in this region from the ‘true’ Tubu of Tibesti and notes uncertainty about their origins and continuity.

Le récit
The Tubu appear in the Dïwân in connection with the Sefuwa dynasty, notably through the mother of Dunama b. Hummay and Hummay’s principal wife. Their presence in the royal marriage network suggests that they were an important political group during the early Sefuwa period. The extract also considers it possible that Tubu participation contributed to the fall of the Dugawa, although this remains speculative.
External evidence provides a more precise location for Tubu groups than for the Zaghawa. Ibn Fātima, as transmitted by Ibn Saʿīd, placed them near Bahr al-Ghazal, in the region east of Kanem. Several Tubu groups still lived in that broader area and were collectively called Daza or Gorhan, whereas the ‘true’ Tubu were associated with Tibesti and its vicinity.
The relationship between the Tubu of the Dïwân and the Zaghawa of external sources is described as unclear. Tibesti has generally been regarded as the country of origin of all Tubu people, with the name interpreted as meaning ‘inhabitants of the mountain’, but the extract explicitly warns that this explanation is not certain. It nevertheless identifies the Tubu as the group that may have preserved its ethnic identity most continuously from the period under discussion.
