The Tubu or Toubou Tebu: "Rock People;"Tibu, Tibbu, Tebu, Tubu, Tebou, Umbararo) are an ethnic group that live mainly in northern Chad, but also in southern Libya, northeastern Niger and northwestern Sudan. They speak Tebu, in the Saharan subfamily of the Nilo-Saharan languages language family. The majority of Toubou live in the north of Chad around the Tibesti mountains (Old Tebu: "Rocky Mountains, " whence the Toubou's own name.) Numbering roughly 350, 000, they are mostly Muslim. Most Toubou are herders and nomads, though many are now semi-nomadic. Their society is clan-based, with each clan having certain oases, pastures and wells. They are divided in two closely associated people, the Teda and the Daza. Many of Chad's leaders have been Toubou, including presidents Goukouni Oueddei and Hissène Habré.
