Doba (Amharic: ዶባ, Afar: Dobaq) also known as the Country of Dobas was a historical Muslim region in central modern Ethiopia.[1] Historian Fesseha Berhe associates Doba with the Saho people.[2] Historian John Trimingham argues that the people of Doba were of Afar stock.[3]
The people of Doba are considered extinct today.[4] According to George Huntingford, Doba appeared to have come from the name of a people who inhabited the area, the Dobe'a, rather than a region.[5]
