Hadjarai peoples

The Hadjarai are a group of peoples comprising 6.7% of the population of Chad,[1] or more than 150,000 people.[2] The name is an Arabic exonym, literally meaning "[those] of the stones" (i.e. of the mountains). It is used collectively to describe several distinct ethnic groups living in the hilly Guéra Region.[3]
