The Daza people are a semi-nomadic Toubou ethnicity living primarily in the Sahara regions of south-eastern Niger and north and central Chad. They consider themselves a warrior people, and are almost entirely Muslim. The Daza speak the Dazaga language, related to the Teda people's language Tedaga. The increasing desertification of Africa has resulted in a reduction of their traditionally nomadic, herding lifestyle. Much of the political class of Chad are drawn from Daza.
Famous quotes containing the word people:
“Every murder turns on a bright hot light, and a lot of people ... have to walk out of the shadows.”
—Mark Hellinger (1903–1947)
